Mah-Kah-Wee Camp

If you remember watching «The Parent Trap» as a kid and thinking that’s the kind of camp you want to go to, then Mah-​Kah-​Wee is for you. It is a rustic, outdoorsy camp, no cell phones allowed here!
Camp Mah-​Kah-​Wee is a Girl Scout camp. They offer programs throughout they year for girls and have overnight camps during the summer. I have been to Mah-​Kah-​Wee many times over the years with my daughters, and I really appreciate that we have a facility like this so close to home.
The camp surrounds a lake so there are many water activities like canoeing and kayaking available during the summer. There is also a swimming pool. They offer all of the standard camp activities like archery and crafts and they also have an obstacle course. My kids love this place. During the summer the week-​long camps are themed so you can find something to match your child’s interests.
As for the facilities, the best place to stay is in the cabins. They have air conditioning! In Florida you NEED air conditioning in the summer. I’ve also chaperoned overnights in the tents, which aren’t so bad, and a building they call the Eco Center, which is a bit more like a enclosed porch… no AC there.
Overall, it’s a great place. I highly recommend it. The prices for overnight camp are very good and the kids have a great time.
