Powell Ohio Summer Activities 2026: The Complete Camps and Recreation Guide

Every City of Powell summer camp, enrichment class, sports clinic, and park program, with dates, ages, prices, and registration details in one place.

What summer activities does Powell, Ohio offer in 2026?

Powell offers a full slate of summer activities in 2026 through the City of Powell Parks and Recreation Department, organized into camps, enrichment, dance, and sports. The lineup covers age three through adult, runs from early June into mid August, and is spread across parks and facilities throughout the city.

As a Powell resident and a Powell Ohio Realtor, I get this question from families every spring, especially from people relocating here who want to know what a Powell summer actually looks like for their kids. The short version is that the city packs a lot into one season. This guide walks through every program in the Summer 2026 Recreation Guide so you can plan the months ahead without flipping back and forth through a brochure.

One of the reasons families choose Powell in the first place is exactly this kind of programming, paired with the parks and the Olentangy school district that surround it. When buyers ask me what makes the community work for raising kids, the recreation calendar is part of my answer. So here is the whole thing, laid out clean.

What summer camps are available in Powell for 2026?

Powell runs six camp programs in summer 2026: Powell Camp, Safety Camp, Amazing Athletes, Amazing Athletes Superhero, Skateboarding, and Brazilian United Soccer. They range from three day mini camps to full week sessions and serve ages three through fifteen.

Each camp below lists the session codes, dates, times, and both resident and non resident prices exactly as published in the Summer 2026 guide. Camps fill quickly, so confirm availability when you register.

Powell Camp (ages 7 to 14) Full — Waitlist Only

Powell Camp is the city’s flagship week to week day camp for campers ages 7 to 14, running Monday through Friday from June 1 through August 14. Activities mix camp games, field trips, ice cream excursions, presenters, and theme days, with visits to the OSA Powell Pool. The camp uses Adventure Park as its home base, and the schedule changes week to week based on enrollment and availability. There is no Powell Camp the week of July 6 to 10, 2026.

All weekly sessions run 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and are priced at $295 resident and $320 non resident per five session week.

Safety Camp (ages 5 to 8)

Safety Camp is a three day camp for ages 5 to 8 that runs two hours per day. Campers rotate in small groups through stations led by local safety experts, including the Powell Police Department, Liberty Township Fire Department, Delaware Public Health District, and others. The camp is held at the Village Green Municipal Building.

Pricing is $60 resident and $78 non resident for the three session program.

Amazing Athletes and Superhero Camp (ages 3 to 9)

The Amazing Athletes program offers two camps for ages 3 to 9, both held at Library Park during the week of August 3 to 7. Amazing Athletes is a developmental, game based sports program covering ten different sports, while the Superhero Camp builds those same fitness skills through superhero themed games like jumping over hot lava and ghostbuster tag. Both camps offer a full day and a half day option.

Skateboarding Camps (ages 5 to 15)

Powell offers two skateboarding camps led by Chris Higgins at the Adventure Park Skate Park. The Beginner camp serves ages 5 to 12 and covers pushing, riding, turning, kickturns, soccer flips, ollies, and skatepark etiquette. The Intermediate camp serves ages 7 to 15 for skaters who already feel comfortable and want expert coaching on new tricks. Both run as weekly five session camps priced at $115 resident and $140 non resident.

Brazilian United Soccer Camps (ages 4 to 14)

Brazilian United runs three soccer camps split by age and skill, all at the Library Park Soccer Field. The Future Stars camp introduces ages 4 to 7 to soccer through storytelling and play, while two United Soccer camps serve ages 7 to 14 with technical skills, mini tournaments, and a Brazilian coaching approach. Prices vary by camp.

What enrichment and STEAM classes does Powell offer this summer?

Powell’s summer enrichment lineup includes LEGO Robot Wars, Drama Kids, Slimetopia 5, Kidz Home Alone, Better Baby Sitters, and Music Together. These classes run mostly at the Village Green Municipal Building and Adventure Park and serve ages from infancy through 14.

Enrichment is where Powell rounds out the athletic camps with STEAM, life skills, and the arts. Here is the full set from the Summer 2026 guide.

Are there dance programs in Powell this summer?

Yes. Powell offers K-Pop Dance for Kids for ages 5 to 11, taught by Po Chu at the Adventure Park Recreation Facility. The class covers dance basics, choreography, and freestyle set to K-Pop music, ending in a mini recital.

What summer sports programs are open to adults in Powell?

Powell offers two adult pickleball programs for ages 18 and up, both taught by Andi Sweet at the Adventure Park Pickleball Courts. A Beginner Clinic teaches new players the rules and basic shots, and an Intermediate Clinic works on shots and strategy for players who can already keep a rally going.

Both clinics run as four session programs priced at $85 resident and $110 non resident.

How much do Powell summer programs cost for residents vs non residents?

Every Powell program carries two prices: a resident rate and a higher non resident rate. Residents are households that live or own property within the city limits of Powell, including those who pay resident property taxes. Everyone else pays the non resident rate.

Residency is tied to whether your household supports the Powell Parks and Recreation Department through resident property taxes. If you are unsure of your status, the guide directs you to the Delaware County Auditor’s website to check your address and tax district. As a Powell Ohio Realtor, this is one detail I point out to buyers, since living inside the city limits unlocks the lower resident rate on every program above. Here is the spread on the season’s anchor programs.

How do you register for Powell summer programs?

You register for Powell summer programs online at PowellRecDesk.com or in person at the municipal building. Online registration is encouraged, and the city processes registrations first come, first served in the order received.

In person registration takes place weekdays between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Class fees must be paid in full at the time of registration, by cash, check, or credit and debit card, with checks payable to the City of Powell. The city advises registering early, because classes with low enrollment can be canceled, and popular programs fill fast. The guide notes that you will be contacted only if a class is canceled.

Where are Powell summer programs held?

Powell summer programs are held across several city locations, with Adventure Park, Library Park, and the Village Green Municipal Building hosting the bulk of camps and classes. Each program lists its own location in the schedule above.
