Summertime is about fun, games and exploring.  Camp Adventure is an all day summer camp program that pushes the bar on excitement.  Campers are served a nutritious and delicious Breakfast and Lunch as well as Morning and Afternoon Snack each day.  Camp Adventure provides school age children time to enhance what they have learned in school. At the same time, the program is packed with activities and field trips that spark the imagination.  Camp Adventure  is a must for any child who wants to socialize with friends, have fun and take part in interesting, new experiences.

 This summer we have a lot of new adventures planned.  Throughout the summer there will be many activities going on besides the fun on the calendar. Your child will be able to choose which activity best suits their interests, as described  below:   

Sports Club:  On Mondays, our friend Mr. Doc will be coming to teach us the fundamentals of many of our favorite sports.  This is a great opportunity for your child to practice skills and get some exercise.  Drills like stretching, dribbling, passing, catching, and throwing will help their Basketball, Football, and Baseball game.

Science Club:  On Thursdays, the children have the opportunity to do experiments and cooking activities based on the weekly themes.  The children will have a chance to practice the Scientific Method by reading, predicting, researching, recording their observations and discoveries and making a hypothesis based on their data. 

Drama Club:  All writers, actors, actresses, comedians, dancers and singers will meet each Monday to determine their production of the week.  They may choose to write and perform a play, have a talent show or a puppet show for the other children in the center.  Each day of the week, the members of this club will be busy creating scripts, costumes and backdrops for the production, which may be presented on a weekly or bi-weekly bass, depending on how involved the theme or production becomes. 

Newsletter Club:  The members of this club are journalists, editors, illustrators, photographers and publishers who will meet on Mondays to brainstorm ideas for the current week’s edition of the Newsletter.  Each day of the week, the club will meet to work on their assignments which may include a particular column (advice, jokes, etc), field trip news, current events, researched material based on the theme of the week and articles from the Sports Club, Science Club and Drama Club.  By the end of the week, the Newsletter Club will publish and distribute their Newsletter. 

Week One:  We are going to the Bronx Zoo, this will be an all day trip and we will be bringing lunch to have our picnic in the park.  We will have a tour guide who will teach us about the animals in each exhibit that we visit.  We’ll also be starting our Paper Mache’ Animal project, making animal cookies and dressing like our favorite animal this week.

Week Two:  We will be finishing our Paper Mache’ Animals, learning how to make homemade ice cream and dressing like a scarecrow.  The field trip this week is to White Post Farm.  Friday is our first Water Fun day so we’ll be playing in the sprinklers, but will also try “Milking A Cow” in a fast paced relay game!

Week Three:  The Journey Into Space theme is sure to be a favorite!  We’ll have lots of alien encounters, experience Alien Slime and make Alien cookies.  On Thursday, we’ll show our creativity by coming to camp dressed as an Alien.  Our field trip this week is to the Vanderbilt Planetarium where we will get to “Journey Into Space”.

Week Four:  “Arrrgh”, what a pirate adventure we have planned this week “Maties”!  We’ll be creating treasure boxes and going on a treasure hunt.  We’ll be making an awesome pirate ship cake and of course, we’ll be eating all the “Grub”… “Yo-Ho”!   Our field trip this week will be to the Bayville Adventure Park where we’ll be doing Miniature Golf, Bumper Boats and the Jungle Tree Top Adventure Ropes Course...where there will be lots of climbing!  All campers who are over 40” will be able to ride alone in the Bumper Boats and participate in the Jungle Tree Top Adventure Ropes Course.  We’ll also have a picnic lunch at the beach!  On Thursday, the children will come to camp dressed like pirates, and we’ll have a “Scallywag” Relay Race during Water Fun on Friday! 

Week Five:  It’s International Week and we’ll be exploring China, Mexico, and Italy and tasting foods from each country.  On Wednesday we’ll be heading out to Splish Splash for some wet and wild fun which will continue on Friday during Water Fun at camp.  On Thursday, we’ll be coming to camp dressed to represent a particular country.  We would like to invite all of our families to participate by sharing music, money, recipes, and costumes from International cultures.  If you have a special tradition or custom that you would like to share with the children, please speak with your child’s teacher. 

Week Six:  “Lights, Camera, Action!”  This week we’ll be applying our skills and creativity to make our very own marionette puppets.  We’ll be popping popcorn, melting butter and experimenting with different spices and cheeses to create new flavors at our “Popcorn Bar”.  We’ll also record our recipes so we’re able to make our favorites at home!  We’ll be seeing a puppet show at the Long Island Puppet Theater on Wednesday.  The children will come to camp dressed as “movie stars” on Thursday and on Friday, we’ll have our very own “Singing In The Rain” auditions during Water Fun.

Week Seven:  Olympic Week is full of fun and games!  We’ll be making colorful tye-dye shirts and kabobing and snacking on exotic fruits.  We’ll be walking over to the Woodhollow Equestrian Center across Pulaski Road to learn about horses and how to take care of them.  We’ll also get to ride the horses!  On Thursday, we’ll be competing in the “Mini Olympics” and the fun will continue on Friday when we do wet Olympics during Water Fun.

Week Eight:  Let’s…”Go Crazy”!  This week is a fun mix of crazy hats, disco fever and a yummy Taco Bar.  We’ll be going to Adventureland, which was a HUGE hit with the campers last year!  On Friday, we’ll be participating in our “Double Dare” Game Show.  This question and answer show is also about crazy missions, beating the clock and working in teams…but you’d better work quickly or you’ll get slimed! 

Week Nine:  “By The Sea” is going to be a great theme to end to summer camp!  We’ll be building “sand castles” out of a variety of painted boxes.  Glue and sand will be added for an authentic look.  All “sand castles” are eligible for our sand castle contest.  We’ll be making fruit salad on Tuesday.  Wednesday is our field trip to Crab Meadow Beach where we can relax and hang out on the beach, go for a swim, make real sand castles, play on the playground and have a picnic lunch!  On Thursday campers will come to camp dressed as their favorite character from Sponge Bob Square Pants.  On the last day of camp we’re sure to have “Buckets of fun” during Water Fun and throughout the whole day!

WE HOPE YOU JOIN CAMP ADVENTURE 2008!
