Ohio Summer Camp for the Non Sport Kids - Expedition Earth

Expedition Earth is the summer camp for great acitivites for the non-sporty kid!

It took me a long time to find a camp that was well rounded that was not related to girl or boy scouts, but also non-sports. Public Schools offer many different types of camps for the sports kids, however what they offer to the non-sports kids is greatly lacking. After searching the Internet for days I finally found one a couple of years ago. I was extremely happy I found this camp. It gave my child a full list of different activities to choose from that was associated with team play but were different from your typically sports programs.

Expedition Earth had what I was seeking. They provided both indoor and outdoor activities. The list included these activities: Mini Bike Course, Wave Runners, Whitewater Rafting, Paintball Games, GPS Laser Tag, Go-Carts, 1,000 ft. Zip Line, The Great Race, Hot Tubing, Power Pole, High Ropes Course, Adventure Lake, Water Trampoline, Fear Factor Games, Salt Fork Excursion, Tubing, Beach Party, Shaving Cream Fight, Horseback Riding, Giant Swing, Scavenger Hunts, Initiative Games, Rock Climbing, Fun Night Games

Highlights of some of these activities:

1. Mini Bike Course - Bikes and helmets are provided. Riders will learn how to ride safely, turn correctly, jump obstacles and ride figure eights.

2. Wave Runners - To operate the wave runners your child must be fourteen years of age and complete the on-line boating safety course. Which can be found at http://www.boat-ed.com/oh/index.htm . There is a $15.00 charge for this course, and you can download and print the study guide to pass the test.

"The Ohio Boating Education Course (OBEC) online course has been approved by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Watercraft and is the official boat course material used by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in their classroom courses. It also satisfies other states' requirements for Ohio residents who boat out of state." [i]
