Why We Don't Schedule Camp During Certain Months
| Ohio can be a cold and
inhospitable place. Consequently, we don't do camps in the months of the
year in which we are most likely to find 18" of snow on the ground
... or 4" of ice.
On the other hand, summers can be very hot and sultry. So, we don't have any camps scheduled in July, and through most of August. |
