LOCATION
Camp LPC takes place in the regions of Kissimmee, Clermont & Orlando Florida. The winding, palm-lined road that leads you to Emerald Island Resort is a prelude to the community's grandeur. The colonnaded entry, complete with a playful dolphin fountain provides a dramatic sense of arrival to this gated enclave. Thoughtful streetscaping featuring indigenous plants and decorative flowers and grasses contributes to Emerald Island Resort's unique impression of place. Once inside you feel as if you have entered a special preserve. Emerald Island is surrounded by a Conservation Area and encompasses over 300 acres with 11 heavily wooded acres right in the middle of the community. |
