CincyNature Camp
Let's Get Wild About Nature!
CincyNature Camps provide a safe and inclusive environment for children to experience the natural world through hands-on activities. Each week, campers explore different habitats, make nature-inspired crafts, play endless games, and sing silly songs with their new friends. Our trained counselors will help instill a love for nature as they guide campers throughout the week. Fresh air, hands-on activities, close encounters with animals and plants, and increased knowledge of the natural world help build confidence, passion, and knowledge about the environment.

Rowe Woods
4949 Tealtown Road, Milford, OH 45150
Campers will be immersed deep in the spacious forests of Rowe Woods and will explore unique habitats on our 1,022 acres of land. There are more than 14 miles of hiking trails in this wild, outdoor classroom where campers can experience nature at its finest.
Long Branch Farm & Trails
6926 Gaynor Road, Goshen, OH 45122
Campers will escape the ordinary along the meandering streams and in the wide open spaces at Long Branch Farm & Trails' 758-acre site, located a short distance from Rowe Woods. With more than five miles of hiking trails and easy access to creeks, campers experience the interdependence of plants, animals, and people at Long Branch Farm & Trails.
Youth Camps
Designed for campers ages 5–15 years old, these camps take place at the Rowe Visitor Center, Fernwood Shelter, and Long Branch Farm & Trails. Although it may seem like these camps have wide age ranges, campers are split into smaller, age-appropriate groups where they enjoy their time during their week of discovery.
Early Childhood Camps
Our Nature Preschool site is the perfect setting for our youngest campers ages 3–4.5-year-olds (with an adult caregiver) and school-ready 4.5–5-year-olds. Our Early Childhood Camp format provides a great introduction for younger children before they transition to our longer camps for older campers. The Nature Center’s early childhood educators craft experiences that will deepen a young child’s connection to the natural world and help them feel more comfortable as a camper. Varied Early Childhood Camp themes will help you find the perfect experience for your camper.
Camp Counselors
CincyNature Camp counselors are a team made up of current Cincinnati Nature Center staff and seasonal counselors recruited from around the country. They are selected based on their enthusiasm and experience working with children, and their knowledge and interest in the natural world.
We’re committed to hiring caring staff members who are devoted to our mission of enriching lives by inspiring passion for nature. Their quality and commitment shine through in the enjoyable and creative experiences they provide at camp and in their interactions with campers. Camp staff have current certifications in first aid and CPR and participate in extensive training to deliver the best possible experience for your camper.
