The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) of which The Orlando Garden Club is a part of, has been sponsoring the WEKIVA YOUTH CAMP every summer since 1974. It is a residential nature camp for 3rd thru 8th Grade youngsters. The Camp instills a love and respect for the REAL Florida in our youth by studying nature, learning about conservation and protection of our environment for the future of our state and our planet.
The Wekiva Youth Camp has six one-week sessions during June & July in Wekiva Springs State Park. FFGC contributes to maintain the facilities along with the Florida Parks Service. The Orlando Garden Club donates each year to assist with sponsorships for campers, camp equipment, etc. for the youth camp. In 2021 OGC contributed funds for two new drinking water fountains.
