Darke County Parks Summer Camps

Schools out for summer! What are your kids going to do with all of their free time? Send them to the Darke County Parks for one of our Summer Camps. Each camp is 5 days full of fun and creative ways to discover nature! Hikes, crafts and activities will enhance your child’s appreciation and understanding of the natural world and historic past all around them!

8-9 year olds need to be prepared to get wet! During this Wet, Wild and Wonderful camp, we will discover the different types of insects, birds, and amphibians in Darke County. We will determine where they call home, and how they survive in the woods, prairie and water! Wet, Wild and Wonderful camp will be held Monday, July 9 to Friday, July 13. Registration is due June 11. Camp will be held from 9:30am-12:00pm and the cost is $70.

Extreme Adventures camp is for those teenagers (13-15 years old) who say they are bored this summer. During this camp, be prepared for anything! From zip-lining to kayaking down the river to a camp-out, we will see what kind of adventures we can get into. Your teen will not be bored at this extreme camp which will be held from 10am to 4pm, June 18-June 22. The fee for this camp is $95 and registration is due ASAP.
