Summer
Camp...What Fun!! At Grand Oak you will make lasting memories and friendships
while exploring the natural beauty that surrounds us at Grand Oak Ranch.
Our camp
adjoins the Withlacoochee
State Forest
and is a short distance to multiple state parks, national parks and recreation
areas. This summer you can enjoy yourself learning about the natural
environment around us while having a ton of fun doing it. You will have the
opportunity to chose your adventure each evening for the following day. Some of
these adventures will include trips to the following places:
Weeki Wachi
Springs State
Park--Canoe or Kayak down the Weeki Wachi Springs crystal clear
blue waters. The spring fed stream always flows fast enough so that you barely
have to paddle. While enjoying the cool waters and scenery you will learn about
the wonderful ecosystem that surrounds us on this trip. Truly a camp favorite.
Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park--A
really Awesome and awe inspiring trip! The Devil's Millhopper is a bowl shaped
cavity in the earth. The cavity is 120' deep and over 500' wide. It is a
naturally occurring lime rock sink hole that has been visited by the curious
since the early 1880's. We will hike to the bottom of the Millhopper to
experience a miniature rain forest. Even when Florida experiences a drought or extreme
heat this mini-ecosystem continues to thrive. A real wilderness adventure!
