Camp
O'Bannon

We are a summer camp for boys and girls of Licking County, who have been referred by schools and social service agencies. The campers enjoy a week or two of camp life, including swimming, arts & crafts, hiking, games, nature activities, and lots of other fun stuff at NO cost to their families. Everything, even most clothing, is provided during their stay at camp.
