Camp Ocala
Private
Camp Ocala is a residential (overnight) youth camp in the Ocala National Forest near Silver Springs, now operated as the Ocala Conservation Center by the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network. One-week sleepaway sessions for children roughly ages 9-17 focus on conservation, outdoor skills, fishing, and firearm/hunter safety, with air-conditioned cabins, a dining hall, fishing piers, shooting ranges, and nature trails. The former UF/IFAS 4-H Camp Ocala closed in 2015; the site continues under FYCCN.
