Ohio Wildlife Center

Stepping into the captivating world of wildlife conservation, families will be delighted by the offerings at the Ohio Wildlife Center. Rooted deeply in fostering respect for Ohio's native wildlife, this camp combines education, rehabilitation, and wildlife health studies in an engaging manner. Here, curious owlets (the Center's affectionate term for youngsters) embark on riveting half-day sessions. They get to choose between morning or afternoon adventures where hands-on immersion in nature awaits. Expect to plunge into idyllic hikes, fun games, fascinating stories, and enlightening experiences, such as learning how to feed and care for the smaller camp inhabitants. From turtles and squirrels to birds, opossums, and rabbits, the diversity in animal interactions is truly a delight! Campers will grasp the basic needs of these animals - from food, water, and shelter to space, and for pet animals, toys, and affection. While the aim is a deep dive into wildlife appreciation, safety is never compromised. They learn appropriate behaviors around both wild and domestic animals. For groups, classes, or organizations thirsting for an enriching wildlife experience, Ohio Wildlife Center rolls out educational programs tailored for all ages. Participants do not merely trial different activities, but also get the opportunity to take a memorable guided tour of the sprawling 20-acre facility while meeting resident wild animal ambassadors. In essence, Ohio Wildlife Center is where the allure of wildlife blends seamlessly with hands-on education, creating an unforgettable experience for every family member. Bright days of discovery amidst wildlife create a one-of-a-kind summer break filled with fun, awareness, and exploration.
