“Prepare and prevent, don't repair and repent.”

Camp Ohiocester finds itself in a beautiful landscape, bordering the lush mountains and forests of Redstone Forest and the Appalake District. While usually a children's summer camp, they've decided to rent it out to students at the Ohiocester State College for much cheaper than most other places.

At the Camp's Research & Recharge programme, you will be able to earn credits for your degree as you complete a project while also immersing yourself in your surroundings and enjoying wellness activities.

Hey Acorns! Welcome to the best summer of your life here at Camp Ohiocester. In order to ensure that you have just as much fun as I and the staff do, we have Six Excellent Tenets for you to follow. Know the SET, and you're all set to have a great summer! Hahaha!!!! See what I did there?
- Herbert Hodgepodge, Camp Director

Conveniently, the Golden Rules are written below:

1. Be kind
2. Don't hit others
3. Look out for one another
4. No bad words
5. Tell a counsellor if you see someone breaking the rules
6. Have fun!

(You gather that some of these rules aren't made for adults. Awkward.)

Camp Ohiocester was founded 108 years ago by Harden M. Cecil, a member of the Ohiocester State Parliament committed to conservation and youth education. Cecil bought a home for himself, his husband, and his two children around one year prior to the camp's founding. The area around the camp was previously considered uninhabitable due to an infestation of venomous snakes, but after Cecil's eldest daughter wandered into the snakes' forest and returned unharmed, everything changed. The snakes were never seen again, and the land was freed up for use. As a State Parliamentary Representative on the Natural Beauty Committee, Cecil brokered a deal in which the Ohiocester State Government would lease public land to Camp Ohiocester at the price of one dollar sterling per year.

In the many, many years since Cecil’s deal, the camp has flourished, first as a haven for scouting groups, then as a beloved home for young children. Over the past three years, the Camp has collaborated with The Ohiocester State University to host the “Research & Recharge” Programme following the conclusion of the children's summer camp's runtime.
