School’s out, the Florida sunshine is shining, and summer camp retreat season is officially underway at our beautiful 100+ acre private lakefront campus in Central Florida! 🎉
Our team is excited to welcome another incredible summer filled with adventure, friendship, personal growth, and unforgettable memories.
Each year, summer brings a special energy to Orange Springs. From laughter echoing across the waterfront to campfires under the stars, team-building activities, worship gatherings, leadership development programs, and meaningful moments shared among friends, our property comes alive with groups creating experiences that will last a lifetime.
We are especially excited to welcome back many of the outstanding organizations that have become part of the Orange Springs family over the years. Returning this summer are youth camps, church groups, school programs, leadership organizations, and marching band camps that have made our campus a cherished summer destination year after year.
A special welcome goes out to Camp Kukenam, which is returning for its fifth consecutive summer. Over the years, Camp Kukenam has become a beloved part of our summer season, and we are honored to continue hosting their campers, staff, and families.
We are also thrilled to welcome back the University of Florida Honors Program’s H-Camp for its fifth year with us. Watching this exceptional program grow and thrive here has been a privilege, and we look forward to another summer of leadership development, learning, and community-building.
And while summer is just beginning, we’re already looking forward to welcoming Ransom Everglades School back to Orange Springs Retreat this August. We are grateful for the long-term relationships we’ve built with returning schools and organizations, and it is always rewarding to see familiar faces return to our campus year after year.
For more than two decades, Orange Springs Retreat Center has served as Florida’s premier exclusive-use retreat venue for private groups. Family-owned since 1971 and operating as a dedicated retreat center since 2002, we specialize in hosting schools, churches, nonprofits, camps, clubs, and organizations seeking a private, distraction-free environment where meaningful connections can flourish.
Unlike shared-use venues, every group that books Orange Springs enjoys exclusive access to the entire campus. Whether it’s a youth camp, church retreat, leadership conference, school event, marching band camp, or nonprofit gathering, groups have the freedom and privacy to make the property their own.
Our 100+ acre lakefront campus provides the perfect setting for outdoor recreation, waterfront activities, team-building experiences, educational programming, worship services, leadership development, and countless other retreat experiences. Every organization brings its own traditions, goals, and culture, and we love helping create an environment where those experiences can thrive.
To all of the groups joining us this summer: thank you for choosing Orange Springs. We are honored to be part of your journey and grateful for the trust you place in our team. We can’t wait to see the memories you’ll create during your time here.
The cabins are ready. The lake is waiting. The campfires are prepared. Another unforgettable summer has officially begun.
While our 2026 summer season is off to an exciting start, we’re already welcoming inquiries from schools, churches, youth organizations, Winter camps, nonprofits, and private groups planning retreats for 2027 and beyond. We look forward to helping the next generation of campers, students, leaders, and organizations create unforgettable experiences at Orange Springs Retreat Center.☀️🏕️🚣
