Families travel from across the United States and overseas every summer so their sons can participate in this unique summer camp experience. Trip Camp is the only summer camp in North America specifically for boys with ADHD. While in Columbus, families can stay at a hotel where we have a discounted rate for camp families or at a local house rental (Air B&B, etc.)
Trip Camp is a day travel camp which campers attend Monday through Friday. Each day of camp begins with an interactive lesson in topics pertaining to social skills, independent skills, and (non-academic) executive function skills. The rest of the day is spent out on trips. An itinerary for the week is provided to registered camp families prior to their arrival at camp. Our “home base” for Trip Camp is in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus.
Trip Camp is a small program with a high camper return rate each year. As a result, there is limited availability for new campers.

Hello, Trip Camp Families!
My name is Scott Jones, and I want to welcome you to Trip Camp in Columbus, Ohio! I have taught 4th and 5th grades for 23 years. I graduated from Denison University and received my Master of Education at The Ohio State University. For 16 years, I served as a counselor, staff, and camp director of various international summer camps.
In 2021, I became a father when I adopted a son with ADHD. Navigating the highs and lows of the teenage years, not to mention with ADHD, is exhausting. However, my son’s adoption instilled in me a sense of urgency in making sure my son had the tools, skills, and behaviors to be a productive, successful, and confident young man.
Being the Director of the inaugural Trip Camp in Columbus is an absolute thrill, and I look forward to meeting your family.
