Basing our operation out of beautiful and historic Deland, Florida,
makes bringing your family along very convenient!
DeLand, located in Volusia County, Florida,
may be one of
Florida's
best kept secrets.
Imagine a college campus classified as a
National Historic District. Add to that a
downtown
brimming with notable gift shops and restaurants. Then place it
between the shores of the
St.
Johns River
and the silvery surf of the
Atlantic Ocean.
Finally, picture
all this only 25 minutes from
Daytona
Beach
and about 40 minutes from
Orlando.
DeLand delights visitors with all the possibilities and hospitality
a small Southern town can offer.
Tree shaded
streets adorned with handsome homes cocoon the campus of
Florida's
oldest private college,
Stetson University. Stetson's presence
enhances the community's rich cultural offerings with theater,
recitals, museums and a vibrant speakers program.
Nearby parks offer camping, picnicking,
swimming, scuba diving and canoeing. Get a peek at Manatees in
Blue Springs, or boat over to
Hontoon Island State Park to see a cypress
swamp on the
St.
Johns River.
Explore the early settler's history at
DeLeon Springs State Park, where you can
griddle your own pancakes at
The Old Spanish Sugar Mill, then paddle a
canoe through the wilderness.
When you need a
beach for cruising or sunning, drive on the sands of Daytona, or
seek out a calmer shore in
New
Smyrna
Beach.
Still feeling restless?...

jumping from planes.
