Summer Camps Begin at
Darke County Parks!
During the week of June 13-17, the Darke County Parks hosted their
first of many summer camps, “Paddling, Hiking & Camping”. The young
campers had a blast learning the ins and outs of their canoes and
kayaks on a local pond, taking advantage of the gorgeous summer weather
by splashing around during game time. The enthusiastic campers then put
their skills to the test on an afternoon paddle down Greenville Creek,
daringly dodging rainclouds and rocks. The week concluded with an
exciting campout at Lake Loramie State Park, which included a beautiful
canoe trip during twilight around the canals and an owl hike after dark
where the campers were blessed by a couple of talkative Barred Owls.
The camper’s demonstrated true skill throughout the camp; in fact not a
single person tipped their boats all week! If you missed this camp,
don’t worry there are more to come. For more information regarding
upcoming summer camps please feel free to check out the website at
