Powered by GoogleOur kiddos spent most of the summer with I.d.e.a.s. Summer Camps and had a great time. The leadership team hired a fantastic group of camp counselors and the kids loved the day to day activities and themes.
Our son has been going to IDEAS camp for 4 years and he absolutely loves it! The camp takes place at Columbus School for Girls in the middle of Bexley. The facility is amazing and the opportunities the campers have are extraordinary. He swims everyday, plays outside, has made friends, and overall comes home tired at the end of the day, which is exactly what you want for an 8 year old! Our son loves the counselors and all of the activities he gets to participate in, including the talent show and magic show! The camps are themed each week so there is always something new every week that they do. One week he'll learn magic tricks, the next week he'll have activities with drones, the next he'll learn how to build and create an obby in Roblox, and then the next week the camp he's in will be all about sports and playing Gaga ball! I can't recommend this camp enough!
Have you ever been greeted by kind, energetic, friendly staff, time and time again? Well, IDEA camp and it's counselors have been just that! This year my son was having difficulty adjusting to camp life but Casey came to the rescue! He was attentive to him and found activies my son enjoyed. I am so appreciate of him for going above and beyond and saving the summer. Sean was also very flexible and allowed my son to move to Casey's program. IDEA camp has been amazing! Until next summer!
This is my dudes’ 3year at camp (8yo &11yo) and they still love it. The head of camp is amazing: he has such an awesome way about him of guiding kiddos when they make mistakes, is very communicative and easy to get ahold of, and just an all around “good egg”. The counselors and camp guides are very sweet, many of the leads are pursuing degrees in education and childhood development, and they really love helping kids grow and have fun. As parents we love the educational portions of camp as it helps with the summer educational slide. A big reason we originally chose the camp was because there are daily swim lessons, we were having a hard time making it to separate lessons but over a summer at camp they became solid swimmers. All around, cannot say enough good things about this camp❤️
We can't express enough how grateful we are for this camp local to the Bexley neighborhood. The staff and counselors treat every kid as an individual and takes the time to know who they are, how they communicate, and what their needs are. Our daughter had a fear of swimming and by two months into camp she was putting her face in the water and enjoying time in the water with her fellow campers. We also appreciate the level of communication and safety measures put in place to ensure that the kids are safe while in the care of camp counselors. We absolutely hope that our kiddo can attend the IDEAS Camp again over the next few years.
