Notes about Camps and Registration
Camps are designed to stimulate children’s creativity and allow them to experience history, architecture, art, crafts, games, and the tastes and sounds of diverse cultures. An experienced educator leads each camp, assisted by college student interns as well as youth and community volunteers. Each session takes place at the air-conditioned Oberlin Depot (240 South Main St.) with walking field trips to notable locations nearby. Children should bring a bag lunch and appropriate outdoor wear each day, including closed-toe shoes and clothing in line with the weather forecast. An afternoon snack will be provided by OHC.
Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations must be accompanied by payment. Children and grandchildren of Oberlin Heritage Center members may receive the member discount. No refunds will be made for cancellations within one week prior to the session the registrant is scheduled to attend. A camp session may be cancelled by OHC if a minimum enrollment is not met by one week prior to the start date and a full refund will be made at that time.
Scholarships may be available to students who qualify for schools’ free or reduced lunch programs (please inquire).
Parents/guardians will be required to complete and sign the OHC Summer Camp Policies Agreement and Waiver for each child. Please note that additional waivers may follow for specific activities and field trips.
