“Camp is exceptional.” “It was fabulous.” “Counselors were great.” “Rated over 9,000.”
With reviews like that, how could you not be tempted to sign your kid up for Geauga Park District’s Summer Camps?
Registration opens March 20 for adventures including biking, kayaking, fishing, stream exploration and sending rockets high into the sky. Plus, in the new year, camp adventures expand to the new Claridon Woodlands, which will serve as a base camp for all campers’ biking day and the older campers’ high ropes challenge!
“New locations for camp activities that are completed every year will also include kayaking at Bass Lake Preserve,” said Naturalist Karie Wheaton. “First day ‘Survivor-like’ activities will include a fire building challenge, a ring retrieval challenge and a scavenger hunt.”
Geauga Park District’s 6th annual camps are offered in week-long forms for youth entering grades 5 through 7 the weeks of June 25, July 9, July 16, July 30 and August 6. A Junior Naturalist Camp will also take place the week of June 11 for this age group.
Week-long experiences for teens entering grades 8 through 10 will be the weeks of June
18 and July 23. Single-day X-Treme Adventures for the older kids will also be held July 2 and 5 (kayak challenge) and July 3 and 6 (high ropes challenge).
According to 2017 camp surveys, the majority of campers said they could recognize more plants and animals than they could before camp, and 100 percent of campers entering grades 5 through 7 said they enjoy outdoor activities more as a result of their camp experience.
