Camp Christopher
Located in Bath, Ohio, Camp Christopher offers residential and day camping experiences during the summer months as well as Family Camping (large families welcome) and camping for adults with disabilities. In addition, Camp Christopher offers an environmental education experience in concert with Catholic schools in the Spring & Fall which follows the diocesan graded course of study for 5th & 6th Graders. Camp Christopher is operated by CYO and Community Services of Summit County.
Day Camp at Camp Christopher provides a nurturing environment filled with fun
and friendships that can last one week or all summer. Campers engage in a world
of adventure as they discover their own skills and talents by participating in
hiking, swimming, archery, canoeing, crafts, and more. Each week offers a new
theme that makes every week something special and exciting. Youth who attend for
multiple weeks gain confidence in themselves as they improve their mastery of
new skills. For further information please contact:
