Outdoor Adventure Camps
Registration opens March 20 for Geauga Park District’s Adventure Day Camp experience in 2021, with weeklong options that will help to keep campers entering grades five through 10.
Kayaking, hiking, geocaching, biking, fishing, building and launching model rockets and exploring stream life are some of the anticipated outdoor adventures, depending on which week campers are enrolled.
For those sessions held earlier in the season, camp activities will take place at The West Woods’ Affelder House and surrounding natural areas for campers entering grades 5 through 7 the weeks of June 7, June 21 and 28, and the week of June 14 for campers entering grades 8 through 10.
Later in the season, campers will be dropped off at a different park each morning: The West Woods on Mondays, Claridon Woodlands on Tuesdays, Observatory Park on Wednesdays, Bass Lake Preserve on Thursdays and Big Creek Park on Fridays, the weeks of July 12 and 26 and Aug. 2 for campers in grades 5-7 and the week of July 19 for campers entering grades 8-10.
Additionally, X-Treme Days for campers entering grades 8-10 will take place June 30 (X-Treme Kayak Adventure at LaDue Reservoir), July 14 (X-Treme High Ropes Course Adventure at Claridon Woodlands) and July 28 (X-Treme Biking Adventure at Claridon Woodlands).
Journaling The Great Outdoors
Nature lovers will learn basic journaling techniques and how to record their nature observations by attending the monthly Nature Journaling series held Mondays through Geauga Park District.
On Feb. 22, participants will focus on the maple sugaring process and on March 29, focus on the world of waterfowl. Both are partially outdoors and have two sessions each day: either 9:30 a.m. to noon or 1:30-4 p.m.
Registration is required by phone. A one-time fee covers the purchase of a journal, pen and pencil for use during the lessons and beyond.
