About the Akron Rotary Camp
Each summer for 88 years the Rotary Club of Akron has sponsored the Akron Rotary Camp, where children with special needs throughout Ohio have been invited to spend a week at camp.  While there, they enjoy many traditional activities including swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, sports and games, team building and more in the convenient and accessible natural setting.  When campers leave Rotary Camp at the end of each session, they not only leave with lifelong memories and friends but often show more independence as well as a greater understanding of themselves and their abilities.  For more information about the Akron Rotary Camp, please call the camp offices at 330-644-4512 or visit
