Snow Day Camp
Winter is here! And with winter, comes snow—and school closings. Community Programs offers Snow Day Camp for children enrolled in kindergarten through age 12 when Columbus Public Schools close because of the weather and Ohio State remains open. Campers will enjoy sports, crafts, and games from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. A $10 non-refundable fee reserves your camper. Cost is $31 for members, per child, per day, and $38 for non-members, per child, per day. Visit http://www.recsports.osu.edu/community-programs/youth-family-programs/snow-day-camp for more information.
