Overview

The Columbus Club Summer Fun Camp began in 1999 with about 60 campers. Throughout the years the camp has grown exponentially. We serve about 350 families through the whole summer. Campers are 5-12 years old (all campers must have completed kindergarten). Campers are engaged in a variety of fun art, sport, swim, and music activities each week. Each week has a different over arching theme which activities are based around. Each session of our camp has room for 150 campers. Each camper is placed in a small group which is led by at least one Lead Counselor and one Junior Counselor. It is the goal of the counselor to get to know each of their campers during the session. Each counselor has the chance to get to know each of their campers and help encourage them to be the best they can be. The Columbus Club Summer Day Camp prides itself on the relationship that it builds with the campers as well as staff members. It is important for us to create a safe and welcoming environment for our campers and their families. The Columbus Club Summer Camp staff brings a well-rounded program to our campers each summer. We coach campers and encourage them to be the best young people they can possibly be. Whether it is playing fairly during a group game, feeling confident in creating a masterpiece in arts and crafts, taking turns on the diving board, learning to swim independently, or helping a younger camper learn a new skill, we accomplish it together. We believe in teamwork and in the value of a quality summer program. Along with a caring staff, this combination will create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Testimonials from our Camp Families When families were asked what they thought about the camp they said:

• "Thank you for all your hard work, the kids love it there. When I see my daughter get out of the car and walk right over to one of the counselors and immediately get a hug I get goosebumps of joy. Summer camp as a camper and counselor holds some of the best memories of my life and I want it to be the same for them. Please let the staff know how much their work means to the kids."
• "Every day at pickup, I asked my camper how his day was, and every day, the answer was an enthusiastic -- and loud -- "Awesome!" We will definitely be back!"
• "Even though my son did this at the very beginning of summer, at the end of it, he said it was one of the favorite things he did all season!"
• "Our kids love Columbus Camp and can't wait to go back each year!"
• "What a kid's summer should be: fun, friends, and sun-filled memories!"
