Summer Programs
It's only the best week you'll have all summer! Cover yourself in mud. Challenge yourself at the Adventure Complex. Ground yourself in quiet moments of reflection at Vesper Hill. Fill your belly with s'mores around a campfire — and fill your heart with love as a valued member of our unconditionally caring community. The traditional Summer Camp at Akita is our most popular program. We invite you to find a session that fits your schedule and join us this summer in Logan, Ohio!

Check-in and return for all summer camp sessions is at First Community Church, North Campus, near Hilliard, Ohio (3777 Dublin Rd, 43221). 'Check-in' is on the first day of each camp session; 'Return' is on the last day.
Late arrivals and early departures from camp are discouraged because they disrupt the camp community. Any deviation from the Check-In or Return times listed above MUST be communicated to the Columbus Akita Offices prior to the start of the camper's session. For more information on Late Arrivals and Early Departures, please click here.
We do not want cost to prevent campers from attending Camp Akita. We are pleased to offer financial assistance to families who would otherwise be unable to attend. Payment plans are also available through our Columbus administrative offices. Find more information and apply for assistance through our Scholarship Request Form link below.

We know it can be difficult to send your child away to camp, especially if you are not sure what to expect. Whether you are new to Camp Akita and have lots of questions, or you would like to get a head start on preparing your child for camp, browse a few of the American Camp Association (ACA) resource articles below to see if this information might be useful for your family.
