SUMMER DAY CAMPS Upper Arlington offers fun and engaging summer camps, with 10-week sessions at UA park shelters and nine-week sessions at UA school locations. Campers enjoy a wide variety of structured recreational activities, including weekly field trips, arts and crafts, games, quiet time, movies and swimming. Campers should be comfortable in and around water and generally visit the pool up to four times a week for a few hours. Our camps are led by experienced staff, maintaining an average counselor-to-camper ratio of 1:12 to ensure a safe and supportive environment. Each child is required to bring a packed lunch, a water bottle or drink and an afternoon snack each day. Please note: Recreation Staff do not administer medicine to campers. Registration is limited and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with a virtual waiting room opening five to 15 minutes before registration begins. The registration fee, charged per child, includes admission to the Upper Arlington Pools during Day Camp, a camp t-shirt and field trip expenses. All fees must be paid by the first day of camp.
