Camp Friendship: Parent & Kid Approved!


With just a few more weeks left of summer break, Gahanna kids are staying happy, healthy and helpful at Camp Friendship. Over the past several weeks, campers have enjoyed playing games of knock-out and capture the flag, taking field trips to the Air Force Museum, COSI, the Columbus Zoo, and participated in games during before and after care.

Parents have shared some positive reactions about summer camp as well. One parent wrote, “Thank you so much for this program; my son looks forward to it every year. It's just as good for the parents as it is the children. Counselors are amazing, programs are amazing, field trips are amazing. Listening to my son talk about his day at camp...priceless.”

Other parents love the relationships the counselors develop with the kids.

 “This is our third year at the camp and I think this has been the best so far. We are so happy with all of the counselors. I love the relationships that the counselors have developed with my kids. Both of my kids have very different personalities. The counselors interact with each of them differently, in ways that are best suited to the kids.”

Camp Friendship really is the place for children ages 5-12 to be! With the new school year just around the corner, a week or two of camp may just be what your child needs to wrap up their summer, especially with weekly trips to Gahanna Swimming Pool, field trips to Groveport Aquatics and Gahanna Lanes, just to name a few.  Oh, and of course we can’t forget about the infamous talent show on August 16, the last day of camp!
