Camp Overview

YMCA Camp Kon-O-Kwee Spencer is a a 550 acre residential summer camp located just north of Pittsburgh, PA. Since 1926 people have been coming to camp to make friends and find connections to people and the world around them. We have 2 distinct programs, one serving kids in a traditional resident camp and one serving adults with special needs. We are a co-ed camp with opportunities available for almost every person. We believe that the most important part of every person’s camp experience is the bond and friendship you build with people in our community.
