Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network Camps

The Ocala Conservation Center (OCC) is located in the Ocala National Forest in Silver Springs, FL. Facility features include air-conditioned cabins and dining hall, outdoor classrooms, fishing piers, shooting ranges, and nature trails. OCC has offered action-packed summer sleepaway camps for 8-17 year olds for over 50 years, equipping campers with outdoor skills, firearm safety, and wildlife stewardship.

The OCC is also used for a variety of public uses including hunter safety courses, youth hunter education challenges, scout groups, 4H shooting groups, school programs, and many other public and private programs and organizations. We hope you’ll visit us this year as we help to “Create the Next Generation That CaresSM” about Florida’s amazing natural resources.
