The Ocoee Spirit

For over 87 years, the spirit of YMCA Camp Ocoee has been more than just a summer camp experience. The Christian values learned and the confidences gained by the participants become a way of life. Generations of families now have fond memories of their time at Camp Ocoee. It is a
common thread that links thousands across the country and the world.

A Strong Foundation

Operated by the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga, Camp Ocoee’s mission is to provide experiences, under a strong Christian emphasis, that will strengthen the spirit, mind and body of all of its youth participants. In addition, the activities are focused on helping to prepare youth for
challenges they will face in the future. Through their time at Ocoee, campers take away valuable leadership skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.

Home Away from Home

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ocoee, YMCA Camp Ocoee’s setting is breath-taking. The camp is set deep in the Cherokee National Forest in southeastern Tennessee. Although camp’s setting is rustic, each of our 22 open-air cabins, which sleep 8-12 campers, is cozy and serves as the perfect “home” where campers return to rest, reflect, and chat about their day with cabin mates.

Above are images of some of the cabins which campers will get to stay in at camp (bear in mind that they are all open air cabins, nearly all have ceiling fans, and majority have bathrooms as well). Campers are placed in cabins based on age. The cabin layout is set amongst a series of peninsulas and hills. This layout makes it beneficial in maintaining a safe and comfortable sleeping setting for both boys and girls.
