Facility Information:
Camp McConnell's setting and facilities provide for excellence. Camp McConnell stretches across 217 acres of North Florida hardwood forest, meadowland and wetland. It is the largest YMCA owned property in Florida. The eastern boundary traverses for 1/2 mile along the banks of George's Lake, an 80-acre fishing lake. To the north, south, and west lie rural Florida farmland and Paynes Prairie State Preserve.
Air conditioned cabins provide for comfortable living. There are 10 camper housing units, 5 new cabin units opened in 2003/2004, and more are scheduled to come in the near future.
Air conditioned Dining and Program Hall is a clean modern facility capable of serving up to 200 at a seating. The camp's new program hall serves as a comfortable indoor sight for campwide evening porgrams and as a weather protected activity center on rainy days.
The Camp's Newly Renoted Olympic Sized Swimming Pool is the centerpiece of the main camp area. A one meter diving board and diving well coupled with the 144,000 gallon main swimming area make the daily recreational swim hour a popular camp event.
The Camp Canteen is open every night after supper and irregular times during the day. Campers may come just to sit at the tables and socialize, and/or enjoy candy or snacks. This year Camp Store is included FREE!
Our soccer coach is from London and he really knows how to play!
Horseback riding is a very popular activity at Camp.
