Camp FAQs
What makes an Imago camp special?
Nature:
Our camps emphasize being outside and feature activities that are not common in everyday life. From hiking to working on a garden, each day is full of new experiences that tap into children’s natural affinity for the outdoors.
Skills:
Campers will learn new skills in natural history, outdoor recreation, sustainability, and outdoor survival.
Community:
Our camps are not just a collection of campers, but rather a community. From chores, to inventing games, to making snacks, our camps are designed so that campers can be a part of a thriving camp community.
Camper Led:
Finally, we believe that the best camps are the ones that the campers help to shape and create. Our camps intentionally have time for camper led inquiries, games and activities.
What are the camper to counselor ratios?
The camper to counselor ratios are at most 6 to 1, but for a majority of our camps the camper to counselor ratio is smaller.
Where do Camps Take Place?
All camps take place at Imago’s 16-acre urban nature preserve, just 5 minutes west of downtown Cincinnati. Our street address is 700 Enright Ave.
