Camp Kon-O-Kwee/Spencer is 500 acres of fields and woodlands located along the banks of the Connoquenessing Creek, 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, just west of Zelienople.
Our non-profit camp is a charitable organization owned and operated by the YMCA of Pittsburgh which is open to all regardless of age, sex, religion, or race and has been serving summer campers since 1926. We have developed into a facility providing camping and conference programs to the varied population of Western Pennsylvania as well as participants from around the United States and the world.
Camp Kon-O-Kwee/Spencer provides outdoor adventure in an atmosphere which stresses the YMCA principle of growth in spirit, mind and body. Our camping facilities are the perfect place to hold day camps, church retreats, youth retreats, outdoor education programs, band camps, sport camps, as well as adult conferences.
