Our summer camps are designed to be a single registration camp.
While our themes change from week to week, our animal ambassadors and general structure for each week stay the same. Some campers find it repetitive to attend multiple weeks of camp. Registering for just one week of camp also allows more children to experience the joys of nature camp!
Ohio Wildlife Center’s wildlife-based, summer nature camps offer unique experiences for getting up-close to wildlife and back to nature. Our rustic, climate controlled Bonner Barn on our education campus in Powell is the base camp for daily hands-on nature and wildlife adventures. Each day, your camper will explore parts of our private sanctuary, visit and learn about our permanent Animal Ambassadors, and what they can do to help wildlife in their own backyard. Your favorite explorer will create nature crafts, go on hikes, help with animal care and experience animal encounter with some of our 60+ Animal Ambassadors. Our Education Program Coordinator, Allison Sullivan, oversees the camp and her team of camp counselors are fully screened and trained in First Aid. Camper to counselor ratio 1:8.
