About Camp Oty’Okwa

Camp Oty’Okwa is a special place, owned and operated by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio for 75 years. By holding our event at their camp, we are helping to support their great mission of aiding underserved youth. Camp Oty’Okwa is also a privately-owned 700-acre nature preserve. This means that as a TrailFest Celebration attendee, you have access to one of the “secret” wonders of the Hocking Hills area and don’t even have to leave the property. If you don’t feel like hopping on the bus again, or are looking for a little more downtime, you can join camp naturalist-led hikes that will be consistently run throughout TrailFest. These hikes will meander through the maze of split rocks, under the canopy of mature hardwoods, and past a variety of waterfalls, sandstone cliffs, and expansive recess caves.
