For older children, overnight travel camps will include outdoor adventures as well as trips to Detroit, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Before and after care and weekly enrollment options are available, allowing families to choose summer camp schedules that fit their needs. The JCC of Akron, located at 750 White Pond Drive, is open to everyone in the community without regard to race, gender, religious preference or marital or economic status. Coed programs are open to ages 5-18 and are designed for beginner through advanced player levels, including goalkeepers and all field player positions. There are six separate weeks to choose from, and each camp provides educational opportunities.
Registration is required for each camp, and space is limited.
A lesson in herpetology and a trip to the Akron Zoo is included. Stan Hywet continues this legacy by allowing participants to perform drama in the gardens, listen to and create music and express themselves through movement and dance. A final performance will showcase the various artistic disciplines learned throughout the week. Campers will learn about the vintage sports of croquet, lawn bowling, clock golf and roque. The highlight of this camp will be learning vintage base ball.
