Junior Day Camp

Summer Junior Day Camp is our youngest summer program, for children ages 5 and 6 years old (who will at least be entering kindergarten in the fall) from Northeast Ohio. Junior Day Camp is a closely supervised program to give children a safe, secure and nurturing environment in which to be introduced to the joys and benefits of camping and to expand their horizons. It runs Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sessions of camp include a variety of exciting hands-on activities such as archery, canoeing, camp crafts, low-ropes course, fishing, hiking, outdoor skills, swimming, wildlife and environmental studies, theme days, campfires and S’mores! (Horseback Riding lessons and Climbing Wall Adventure are not offered to campers attending Junior Day Camp.)

New this summer Session Themes. Session theme’s will be incorporated with our typical outdoor camp program. This summer will be a bigger adventure than ever!

Session One: Travel thru Time. What was life like back for boys and girls in the Renaissance or the Roaring 20’s? Campers will hop in our time machine for an amazing journey across the ages.

Session Two: Heroes vs. Villains. Good vs. Evil, right or wrong, this super session of camp will be divided. Will the Heroes prevail or will camp be taken over by Villains.

Session Three: Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs roam free at Hiram House and its up the campers to save them. Campers will learn about these magnificent ancient creatures and will be able to walk among them.
