ROTARYS CAMP FLORIDA INC

What ROTARYS CAMP FLORIDA INC does

Rotary's Camp Florida Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in December 1991 that operates a 21-acre, fully ADA-compliant campground at 1915 Camp Florida Road in Brandon, Florida. The facility serves as a barrier-free overnight camp for children and adults with disabilities, accommodating up to 118 campers in air-conditioned cabins plus an 11-bed infirmary capable of supporting chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Core infrastructure includes a 25-yard Junior Olympic pool with wheelchair lift, fully accessible nature trail, archery and airsoft ranges, canoe/kayak fleet with accessible boat lift, commercial kitchen, and specialized adaptive equipment such as wheelchair swings and WhisperGLIDERS. The camp is ACA-accredited and operates as a Project of the Florida Rotary Districts.

The organization does not run its own camper programs; instead, it rents its facilities to qualified nonprofit groups (cancer support, diabetes, autism, epilepsy, Tourette's, etc.) that supply their own counselors, medical staff, and programming. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining deeply discounted facility rentals, corporate retreat bookings during off-peak periods, multiple donation channels (sustaining monthly gifts, capital campaigns, stock donations, commemorative brick sales), and the Memory Maker Scholarship Fund that subsidizes access for disability-serving groups. The Rotary Club network across Florida (40+ contributing clubs) serves as both the primary fundraising backbone and the principal referral channel, with board leadership drawn from Rotary District governance.
