Why Crown Point

This isn't a themed camp. It's a week on a real working farm.

01
Real food & soil literacy
Campers don't just hear about where food comes from — they grow it, harvest it, and eat it.
02
Real friendships
30 campers max, 1 staff for every 5 kids — every camper is known, not just supervised.
03
A real connection to the land
115 acres of working farm and preserve, USDA certified organic since 1994.
That's what a week at Crown Point actually feels like. Here's how to grab a spot — or get help paying for one.

Good to know

A few common questions.

What is your staff-to-camper ratio?
We maintain 1 staff member for every 5 campers — well above what most day camps offer — so every child gets real attention, not just supervision.
Is Crown Point Farm Camp licensed or accredited?
Crown Point Farm Camp is registered with the State of Ohio specifically as a Day Camp (Ohio Department of Job & Family Services). This registration is separate from any other program CPEC offers.
Is this a good fit for a first-time camper?
Absolutely — our small groups, high staff ratio, and steady daily rhythm are designed to help first-time and returning campers settle in quickly and feel at home on the farm.
