It’s summertime and the kids are out to play. The following summer camps in Chagrin Valley offer exciting opportunities to explore nature, develop new skills, and perhaps even make lifelong friends. Here’s to what may be the best summer ever.
REC CLASSIC DAY CAMP
Chagrin Valley Recreation Center’s Rec Classic Day Camp returns this year with a variety of activities spread across seven sessions over the course of two months. As of the time of writing, the June sessions and the first of July’s have already concluded, but there are three sessions left for kids to sign up.
- SPACE VOYAGERS (July 8-11): This science-themed day camp will take participants on a voyage of discovery to outer space, learning about planets, galaxies, and other heavenly bodies in the process. Activities include space-themed games and building model paper rockets.
- ART EXPLORATION (July 15-19): Art Exploration Week is all about letting the kids express their creativity and explore different art mediums such as play dough and oobleck.
- SPORTS & WELLNESS (July 22-26): This Rec Classic Day Camp session is focused on promoting health and wellness through various forms of play and sports challenges. A highly recommended session for active kids for sure.
The Rec Classic Day Camp sessions are held at The Rec and Chagrin Falls Middle School campus. Registration is open for children from grades 1 through 6, with each session limited to just 25 participants. Parents can opt to sign up their children for a half- or full-day session. Before-and-after care can also be arranged for an additional fee.

CHAGRIN VALLEY FARMS SUMMER RIDING CAMP
Another returning camp this summer is Chagrin Valley Farms (CVF) annual riding camp, which will run from June 3 through August 16, 2024. For the uninitiated, the CVF is the premier horse facility in Chagrin Valley that offers riding and horsemanship lessons with highly qualified instructors.
The 2024 CVF Summer Riding Camp is open to participants ages 6 and up. Half- and full-day options are available, with rates ranging $450 to $750 per week. All kids are welcome, from complete beginners to more advanced riders.
HIRAM HOUSE SUMMER DAY CAMP
Established in the late 1890s, Hiram House Camp is known to be among the oldest summer camps not only in Ohio, but in the entire country. About 128 years after its foundation, it continues to host a wide range of programs, one of which is their Summer Day Camp series. With each week at camp, participants have the opportunity to forge a closer relationship with the great outdoors, as well as build some essential skills.
Summer Day Camp 2024 runs from June to August, with the second half of the camp divided between these two sessions: July 15-26 and July 29 to August 9. Since we’re now in the latter part of summer, parents can enroll their children for just a week ($470) or for two sessions (four weeks, $1,770). Registration includes a limited edition camp T-shirt and other freebies.
