Looking for a private adult camp rental in Florida? Orange Springs Retreat Center offers something increasingly hard to find: the ability to rent an entire summer camp for adults — with no shared spaces, no outside groups, and complete control of the property.
Our exclusive-use, 100+ acre campus bordering the Ocala National Forest provides adult organizations, corporate teams, nonprofits, churches, and event planners with a true private summer camp experience. One group. One property. Always.
Can Adults Rent an Entire Summer Camp?
Yes.
While many summer camps only offer scheduled programs for individual attendees, some retreat properties allow adult organizations to reserve the entire campus exclusively as adult camp venues.
At Orange Springs Retreat Center, your organization has private access to the entire property — including lodging, dining, meeting spaces, recreation areas, and the waterfront. Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, nonprofit gathering, corporate offsite, alumni reunion, or camp-style weekend, your group enjoys the campus without sharing it with anyone else.

Why Groups Choose a Private Adult Camp Rental
Many people searching for an adult summer camp want to attend a scheduled event. Organizations, however, are often looking for something entirely different: a private campus they can reserve exclusively for their own group.
That’s exactly what Orange Springs Retreat Center provides.
When you reserve the property, you rent an entire summer camp for adults — not just a meeting room or a block of hotel rooms. The cabins, dining hall, meeting spaces, waterfront, sports facilities, and gathering areas belong exclusively to your group throughout your stay. For current pricing details, see our guide on how much it costs to rent a summer camp in 2027.
Benefits include:
- Complete privacy with no outside guests
- Total control of your schedule and programming
- A classic summer camp atmosphere without sharing facilities
- Opportunities for recreation, collaboration, and meaningful connection
- An experience designed entirely around your organization

Whether you’re planning a structured retreat or creating a fun, nostalgia-inspired camp experience, Orange Springs provides the flexibility to make it your own. Additional details on renting the campus as a summer camp venue are available on our summer camp rental page.

- Private spring-fed lake and white-sand beach

Flexible Programming
Some groups spend the day in leadership workshops and strategic planning sessions. Others fill the schedule with lake activities, games, campfires, recreation, and team-building.
You create the agenda. We provide the private campus.
Why Rent a Summer Camp Instead of a Hotel?
Hotels work well for conferences. A private summer camp creates experiences.
When your entire group stays together in one exclusive location, conversations continue after meetings end. Campfires replace hotel lounges. Waterfront activities encourage team bonding. Shared meals become opportunities for connection instead of quick breaks between sessions.
Adult Summer Camp experiences help teams, organizations and private adult groups bond in ways that can not be retreated in a sterile hotel environment.
For many organizations, the private camp environment creates stronger relationships, better collaboration, and more memorable experiences than a traditional hotel or conference center. See how this compares in our guide to renting a summer camp in Florida.
