Camp Kiwanis of Ocala— For The Kids

Camp Kiwanis has been the Ocala Kiwanis Club’s signature project since 1948. The camp is located on 10 beautiful acres in the Ocala National Forest and is owned by the club. It has accommodations for 104 campers and appropriate staff members each season. The Marion County School system holds a summer camp with 4-6 one-week sessions each year.

The Camp Kiwanis infirmary has now been renamed in honor of George and Aggie Albright. The club was recently presented a check for $10,000 by Aggie for Camp Kiwanis, in correlation with the former Lake Weir Kiwanis Club and the Silver Springs Shores Kiwanis Club.
