Metro Parks Summer Camp

Let your child's spirit for adventure flourish at Metro Parks, where Mother Nature assumes the role of an animate, immersive playground. Presenting an intriguing blend of assorted adventures, this quintessential camp fosters a vibrant backdrop for budding thrill-seekers. Uncork the joy of canoeing, savor the exhilaration of rock climbing, or embark upon a comrade-in-arms walk with your trusty dog by your side, as you traverse through labyrinths of trails spanning over 200 miles. Metro Parks plays host to not only adrenaline-charged activities but also brass-tack amenities from nature centers and natural play areas to picnic shelters and fishing spots; there is something for every fledgling naturalist. Visualize a day spent scaling its famed climbing wall, or perhaps exploring the interactive and educational activities menu, filled to the brim with interactive crafts and games. There's a legacy attached to the Metro Parks' Nature Adventure Camps, arching back to 1997. These idyllic camps set the stage for the youths of Central Ohio to commune with the outdoors, to play, discover and learn in the lap of nature, casting aside the shackles of technology. These week-long day camp sessions cater to tots attending preschool up to teenagers in their ninth grade. Adding an additional feather to its cap, Metro Parks offers pre and post-camp activities, ensuring your child's day remains action-packed from dawn till dusk. Please remember to pre-register if your child intends to partake in these early-bird or twilight sessions, as drop-ins or day-to-day options are not accommodated. Let them seize this chance to dovetail with the wilderness, under the watchful eyes of experienced camp counselors at Metro Parks.
