Camp Realize Your Natural Obsession (RYNO) is a weeklong summer camp for teenagers age 12 and up. Nestled along Santa Rosa Beach in Florida's panhandle, the camp program teaches extreme sports and focuses on improving three lifestyle fundamentals: body, mind and soul. Teens can learn how to strengthen their body through activities at the camp such as surfing, skim-boarding, kayaking, snorkeling and free diving. The camp helps enlighten the minds of teenagers by teaching about the landscape and preservation of the Emerald Coast through hands-on activities. Teens can also experience how to enrich their souls through daily activities and meditation. Although this is a co-ed camp, boys and girls have entirely separate lodging, bathroom and shower facilities. Campers are housed in either a cabin or heavy gauge canvas platformed tents. Programs are designed based on the campers age and are offered during several sessions throughout the summer.
