Camp Wyandot

I can only speak to the property and not the program, but I had forgotten how amazing this setting is for youth camp?! I had gone here as a youth and decades later, the staff nurse and camp director gave me a tour the last day of camp! Bravo to those who keep the facilities repaired! I cannot believe the dining hall is still in it's original log cabin state?! It is very rare camps have the rock formations of our stellar hocking hills quality with cabins backed right up against them! The cabins do not have A/C but are in shade, and the shutters are just like when I was a kid! There is a pond, a pool, a nature center, a trading post, fire ring and program area and they still have the Rover (overnight hiking) and CIT programs! This camp is not marked during the off season but is clearly marked during the camping season. It is my understanding that the resident camping is at the northern tip of the hocking hills region and beside Clear Creek Metro Park and the day camp is located in the Columbus area.

This camp was trash! Food was good, but the activity’s were horrible- none of the fishing poles worked, the lake was disgusting? There were huge spiders and giant wasps in our cabin when we were sleeping. The pool was bad there were bugs, frogs, and other insects inside it . They make you wake up way too early. And you don’t even get to pick what activity’s you do?

Please I’m begging you don’t go! I lost 4 pounds in one week because they give you no food at all and before we even get to have the scraps from the kitchen we have to sing for 30 minutes before every meal while the counselors sit down and watch us! Also they wake us up at 6:45 by yelling and shaking us. There were hornets nests in our cabin and also if you fall in the lake when canoeing beware there are leaches, snakes, and snapping turtles waiting for you. Of all the camps possible don’t go to this one please.

Both my kids love Camp Wyandot so much they talk about it year round! My older daughter attended 3 times as a camper and is now a CIT, while my younger completed her second year and look forward to becoming a counselor as well.

My 12 yr old really seemed to enjoy this camp more than others. I liked the ease for sign-up and pick up. They cabins are either tree house or lake front. Plus it's actually ended entire week. He wants to go back.
