For nearly four decades, Camp Live Oak has been fortunate to welcome families from many different backgrounds, faiths and traditions. That diversity has always been an important part of our camp family.

To all of our Jewish families, campers, staff, alumni and friends observing Yom Kippur, we wish you a meaningful and peaceful day surrounded by those you love.

G’mar Chatimah Tovah. May you be sealed for a good year.

Ocean Quest Week is in full swing at Camp Live Oak, and what an incredible week it’s shaping up to be!

There is something exciting happening every single day.

Today, our campers worked together on a beautiful giant coral reef mural, bringing the colors and creatures of Florida’s reefs to life. It’s amazing to watch their creativity come together on one enormous work of art!

Tomorrow, our Salty Anglers head to Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park for a full day of fishing along the shoreline.

On Wednesday, our youngest campers, the Minnows, will visit the Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach, then return to Birch State Park for a special Sea Life on the Beach program.

Thursday is one of everyone’s favorite adventures as our older campers, the Tarpons, travel to Key Largo for a full day of snorkeling, exploring the living coral reefs and the incredible marine life of the Florida Keys.

Throughout the week, campers will also become marine biologists as they participate in starfish dissections, learning firsthand about one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures.

And, of course, one of our favorite Camp Live Oak traditions returns this week..our annual silk-screen T-shirt printing! Every camper will create their own Camp Live Oak keepsake to take home, a colorful reminder of an unforgettable summer adventure.

From art and science to fishing, snorkeling, and hands-on exploration, Ocean Quest Week is exactly what Camp Live Oak is all about—connecting children with nature while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

What a busy, fun-filled, and unforgettable week awaits!

Week 4 is in the books, and what an incredible week it was! From fishing along the shoreline and hitting bullseyes in archery to creating nature projects, making new friends, and sharing plenty of laughs, every day was another adventure. There’s something special about watching children unplug, explore the outdoors, build confidence, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you to our amazing campers, dedicated staff, and supportive families for making Camp Live Oak such a special place. We can’t wait to see what Week 5 has in store!
