Camp Bayshore

Summer Fun at Camp Bayshore

Camp Bayshore is a fun, Christian-centered program for rising kindergartners through rising sixth graders that provides a fun and safe place for children from all around the Tampa Bay area. We started our program with just a handful of campers in the early 1980s. Now, 40 years later, we see over 300 campers on campus during a typical camp week!

Ready, Set, Fun!

Bayshore summer campers learn through hands-on experiences as our staff challenges them in fun and exciting ways. Campers enjoy structured and free play, off-campus field trips, shows, music, art, science projects, service projects, and many, many other activities.

Camp Hours of Operation

Camp Bayshore 2026 will be open May 27–July 24. Camp is open every day, unless otherwise noted, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Camp Staff

We only select Camp Bayshore staff members who profess themselves as Christians and who have an obvious love and previous experience caring for children. We conduct a background check on all potential counselors with final approval of counselors granted by camp and school administration.

We assign an adult counselor who has at least three years prior experience to each age group at Camp Bayshore. All of our adult counselors have received CPR and first aid training. Counselors, at least 16 years old, provide back-up assistance. Camp Bayshore follows the same policy as Bayshore Christian School - Bayshore Christian School is an equal opportunity employer and educational provider committed to a policy of non-discrimination for any member of the school's community. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in hiring practices, policies, and administration. This policy applies to faculty, staff, students, visitors, applicants, and contractors in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, orders, school policies, procedures, and processes.

Child to counselor ratio:
10:1 for 3 - 5 year olds
12:1 for 1st - 6th graders
