YMCA Camp Winona

YMCA Camp Winona has welcomed groups to its 68 secluded acres of oak and pine forest on the shores of spring-fed Lake Winona since 1919. Located in De Leon Springs, Florida, and operated by the Volusia-Flagler Family YMCA, the camp offers a natural lakeside setting for retreats, reunions, seminars, and private events throughout the year. The main event anchor is a fully air-conditioned dining hall that seats up to 200 guests — a central gathering space well suited to large group meals, receptions, and indoor programming. An open-air screen pavilion provides an indoor-outdoor alternative, and an outdoor chapel and amphitheater serve ceremonies and assemblies under the tree canopy. For evening gatherings, a large campfire circle with rustic bench seating brings groups together around an open fire. Beyond the event spaces themselves, Camp Winona can host up to 240 guests with on-site cabin accommodations, dining, and full activity programming — making it a natural choice for organizations seeking a full-buyout retreat experience that extends well beyond a single event.
