Oberlin Ahoy! Pirates and Life on the High Seas Summer Camp
Oberlin Ahoy! Pirates and Life on the High Seas
July 17-21 (Monday-Friday, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM)
Set sail with us in search of fun and adventure! Campers will learn about the history of pirates, including the famous Blackbeard and Anne Bonny. We will explore how people navigated the seas, what a sailor's life was like, how to create maps, and much more through engaging hands-on activities!

Notes about Camps and Registration:
Oberlin Heritage Center camps are open to boys and girls ages 8 to 13 and run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m each day. Camps are designed to stimulate children’s creativity and encourage curiosity about history, architecture, art, and diverse cultures. Camps are led by an experienced educator assisted by OHC staff, student interns, and community volunteers. Each session takes place at the air-conditioned Oberlin Depot at 240 South Main Street with occasional walking field trips to notable locations nearby. Children should bring a bag lunch each day and dress for outdoor activities. Simple snacks are provided.

Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Camp may be cancelled if a minimum enrollment is not met by one week prior to the start date. No refunds will be made for cancellations within one week prior to the session the registrant is scheduled to attend. Children and grandchildren of Oberlin Heritage Center members may receive the member discount. Partial scholarships may be available to those who qualify for schools' free or reduced lunch programs (please inquire 440-774-1700).

If you register online, you will be contacted and asked to complete a permission form.
