How can kids help wildlife? By engaging in citizen science and contributing to surveys of our plants and animals! Campers will contribute to iNaturalist, complete a Butterfly Survey for the Ohio Lepidopterists, measure trees, set up a camera trap and more! In between our survey extravaganza, we will find some time for games, team challenges, and archery!

Our Oak Grove Adventures will include:
Archery, Tree Survey, Survival Challenge

Close-toed shoes are required. Parents/guardians may wish to bring towels for the ride home as we are in the creeks most days.

Campers will need to bring a sack lunch. NO PEANUT or TREE NUT PRODUCTS PLEASE!

Preparing for your first week of camp:
Please review our camp discipline policy prior to your child's first week of camp: https://www.cwpd.org/programs-events/childrens-programs/summer-camp-discipline-process/

Please note additional forms are required for epi pens and medication that will be brought to camp (i.e., asthma inhalers). These additional documents require a physician's signature and are due two weeks before your child's first week of camp. Forms and release waivers can be found here: https://www.cwpd.org/forms/

Please note, all participants must be independent in the six activities of daily living: using the restroom, eating, bathing, dressing, transferring (i.e. walking) and continence. If your child requires an accommodation to participate, please call (937) 433-5155 and specify on the Medical History Form.


Regarding camper friends: Campers are divided into two groups. We do our best to put campers with their friends but that is always not possible. Groups of 6 or more could be divided to ensure everyone gets to be with at least one person they know. Camper groups often mingle throughout the day and eat lunch together.
