As summer nears, three Marietta summer camps will be available to keep children engaged, educated, and entertained.
The Ely Chapman Educational Foundation will host its annual Sensational Summer Camp from June 7 to August 13 ages 3-14. The ten week camp is $105 per week with scholarships available through the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS).
The camp will feature a different theme each week, and the children will have the opportunity to have hands-on experiences, work with people from around Marietta and travel to museums. “For bugs’ life, we are trying to acquire butterflies and an ant farm,” said Lori Ullman, executive director at the Chapman Educational Foundation. “For the great space race, we have reached out to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. The kids are going to be creating their own constellation and putting it in.”

Lori Ullmann
MARIETTA When Ely Chapman Educational Foundation founder Alice Chapman died Dec. 30 of COVID-19, the immediate future of the school was uncertain.
A little more than a month later, a new director was hired to continue Chapman’s vision.
“Lori Ullmann is the executive director now and is getting her feet on the ground,” said Hunt Brawley, president of the foundation’s board of directors. “We’re excited. She’s hit the ground running, and we’re very encouraged.”
Ullmann said she chose to take on the challenge of leading the school because it fit with her philosophy personally to get kids the education they need.
