🌳 Summer camp rush

Geauga County • March 13, 2025

​

Good morning, Geauga County. The wilderness is calling the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts! March 20 marks the starting line for registration in Geauga Park District's beloved summer camps, now entering their 13th year of connecting young adventurers with nature. With activities ranging from archery to kayaking spread across the county's most beautiful parks, these week-long experiences consistently fill up faster than a fishing pond after restocking day.

Creative energy continues to pulse through Northeast Ohio's artistic scene. Cleveland's unbanned spirit thrives as local talent refuses to be silenced – from Kade Carver's inclusive open mics to Neil Zaza's guitar virtuosity carrying Cleveland sounds across five European countries. Meanwhile, classical ensemble OPUS 216 invites music lovers into their recording process at Suma with an innovative approach that transforms audience members into album investors, complete with dessert reception and signed CDs. The region's artistic defiance proves as vibrant as its summer landscapes.
