Camp Discovery Crew


Camp Adventure

This camp is an outdoor based camp with a focus on group games, arts and crafts, and individual and team sports. Each week will have a different theme, and each day will have a routine schedule of activities. Field trips and swimming are all included in the fee and the fun. The children will go on field trips or have "in-house" entertainment once a week. Each child will receive a t-shirt to be worn on field trip days. Campers are to bring a sack lunch, labeled reusable water bottle, and an afternoon snack.

Adventure Camp is designed for our youth to grow, increase self-confidence, self-esteem, take risks, broaden their horizons and discover new strengths, all while developing values, respect and forming new friendships along the way! Our summer plans include weekly themes, daily activities to coordinate with those themes, creative arts and crafts, games, sports, healthy kids’ activities (yoga, dance, aerobics) and water games. The children will go on two field trips or have "in-house" entertainment each week. Each child will receive a t-shirt to be worn on field trip days. Campers are to bring a sack lunch, labeled reusable water bottle, and afternoon snack each day.
