Summer Camp

About Buhl Park’s Summer Camp Program

We’re proud to partner with the City of Hermitage to bring this amazing camp to life for our community!

Camp is 100% outdoors, every day—so campers should dress for the weather and to get dirty. Days are filled with outdoor fun including sports and recreational games, arts and crafts, swimming for grades 3–6, water days for grades 1–2, nature lessons, hikes, special and community guests, and unstructured recess time.

Each shelter group has multiple counselors, and Program Directors are on-site at the park every day. In addition to regular staff training, all counselors are CPR and First Aid certified and have passed required background checks.

In May, registered families will receive an email with important information including schedules, packing lists, and weather guidelines.

Accommodations

We strive to be as inclusive as possible for all campers, within the capacity of our staff and facilities. Parents or guardians of a child with special needs are encouraged to contact us prior to registering to discuss specific accommodations.

Behavioral Policy

Campers are expected to have a positive attitude and respectful behavior towards peers and staff. Encouraging others and teamwork is a must.

Bullying, inappropriate or suggestive behavior including foul language will not be tolerated. Any unacceptable behavior will be officially reported to parents or guardians. If the behavior continues, your child may be removed from camp. Refunds will not be given in these circumstances.

Weather Policy

Camp takes place outdoors every day, and rain does not automatically cancel camp. Each group has an assigned shelter for brief weather interruptions. If forecasts predict significant rain or strong storms, camp may be canceled. If severe weather develops during the day, families will be notified to pick up their child.
