The school year is starting to wind down. And parents are starting to brace for those inevitable words:

“I’m bored!”

Why not make this summer different by signing your kiddos up for some local summer camps?

They are a great way for kids to socialize, get out their energy, and use their creativity. Here are some ideas from Muth & Company Roofing, your Columbus roofer, for summer camps in the Columbus area that your children could benefit from.

Second & Seven Football Camp

The annual Second & Seven Football Camp will be June 22 – June 24, 2026, in Hilliard. Kids ages 7-14 will learn the fundamentals of football from former Buckeyes, NFL players, and local high school football coaches, and be introduced to important attributes such as teamwork, goal-setting, positive attitude, and commitment. The camp fee includes daily snacks, lunch, and an official camp shirt.

Columbus Zoo Summer Camps

For the animal lovers in your family, the Columbus Zoo offers a wide variety of experiences for all ages. Children from age 3 through 10th grade can learn more about the creatures that inhabit our world, gain greater respect for nature, and experience hands-on interactions with animals. Each age level has its own activities and games. Available classes include:

  • Summer Zookids Day Camps (Age 3-K)
  • Week-long Day Camps (Grades 1-7)
  • Zooteen Day Camp (Grades 8-10
  • Member discounts apply

Young Chef’s Academy

With the popularity of kids’ cooking competitions increasing, as well as a growing awareness of the importance of limiting processed foods in our diets and focusing more on locally grown food, the 2-3 day mini-camps offered by Young Chef’s Academy are perfect for budding chefs from ages 4-15.

Not only do they teach healthier cooking options, like baking instead of frying, but they also offer fun courses such as Cupcake Insanity and YCA Gets Chopped. And if you’re lucky, they’ll learn some new dinner recipes and give you a night off!
