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.

Nature Preschool Summer Enrichment

NEW! The Summer Enrichment Program invites children, ages 3 or 4 years old, to practice the skills needed for future preschool or kindergarten experiences, including independence and social skills (eating as a group, taking turns, etc.)

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.

Camp Director's Message

Adventure is waiting around every bend in the trail. Whether your child loves splashing through creeks, searching for wildlife, building forts, making new friends, or simply exploring the great outdoors, there's a camp experience ready for them. Campers spend their days discovering hidden wonders, trying new things, getting a little muddy, and creating memories that last long after summer ends. Camp programs emphasize outdoor exploration, hands-on discovery, creativity, and connection with nature.

We can't wait to share the magic of the woods, fields, and streams with your family and help your child build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of the natural world.

See you on the trail!
