Our kids’ week ended with a great time. We had an excellent talent show with lots of singers and dancers. There was also a wonderful dance and all kinds of activities during the day. We hope all of our campers return next summer!

On Monday night, three fire trucks came from Flynn’s Lick Volunteer Fire Department as well as South Side. They set up all three of their trucks to draft water from the Cordell Hull Lake so we could all have a great time. Much thanks goes out to all of the firefighters that helped make this happen!
Our campers decided upon the team names the Green Machine, Giggle, the Martians, and the Transformers. Last night there was competition on the main green for the Camp Discovery Olympics. Everyone was a winner, but the Green Machine came out on top.

This week we have campers between the ages of eight and eighteen spending the week at Camp Discovery. We’re in for a bunch of fun– and it’s already started. Last night we played bingo and currently the campers are at outdoor recreation and the swimming pool. The teams have not yet been named yet, so stay tuned.
Cheetah Power: Oatmeal

We’ve returned from a short two-week hiatus to return to your regularly schedule Camp Discovery programming. We’ve had a lot of energy this week in the four groups: Soulja Boy/Girl, Red Goats, Cheetahs, and the Pizza Falcons. The rain hasn’t stopped a moment of camp yet. The Cheetahs were victorious during the Special Olympics this year, earning their spot to eat oatmeal first this morning, circle pizza first at lunch and the delicious meal we’ll be having for our dinner tonight. The kitchen staff at Camp Discovery are top notch at making not only delicious foods, but catering to a variety of specialized diets for specific campers.
During our talent show, the group Soulja Boy/Girl trumped the competition with a title track named after their team.
This week a very special guest, Mr. Michael Mignogna, came to inspire our campers with his program Look Ma! No Feet. His program was based around finding what really inspires you and using it to help inspire others. The campers and staff really loved creating rhythms together and playing on his drums. “He is a true inspiration!” said a camper.

This week the campers decided upon two group names: the Tigers and the Blue Frogs. The Tigers were victorious at the Camp Discovery Special Olympics, but the Blue Frogs returned to win the talent show with “Joy to the World” where Jeremiah was a bullfrog. We’ve had an amazing first week. We have a big dance tonight that we’re totally excited about. The staff looks forward to what the rest of this week and next week will bring!

Giants: Lasagna

For our second week of Camp Discovery this summer, we’ve been having a ton of fun. This week there have been four teams and they chose the names Silver Dragons, Monkeys, Purple Cats, and Giants.
The boys over at the Flynn’s Lick Volunteer Fire Department came to visit us on Monday evening. With the help of our director, they sprayed water over the campus for some fun in the sun.
The Special Olympics were dominated by the Purple Cats while last night the Giants took the talent show by storm. We will we be taking two weeks off and return on the 28th of June for another great week.

This week was a great week at Camp Discovery. The campers chose the names for their groups as the Tigers and Blue Frogs. The Tigers overall won the Camp Discovery Special Olympics. The next night the Blue Frogs won the talent show with Jeremiah and the bullfrog for the song “Joy to the World.” It was a great competition!

The 2009 Summer Staff is ready for a whole new summer with tons of amazing campers. We look forward to seeing all of the new and returning campers this summer. There are six weeks of Camp Discovery this summer.
We’ve started our first week of camp off with a bang! We welcome our new campers! There are many returning campers and staff. It seems to be a great time for everyone. There has already been some music time, hopscotch, wiffleball, art time, fishing, pool time, and all around good times!
Week Seven Day Four: Biscuits and Gravy
Posted by Director
So for our final week we’ve been up the same old fun that we tend to have. This week’s teams are the ever feuding items of Fire and Ice. Last night was our Tuesday Night Tournament in which our Ice team froze the competition. This week we have been visited by the Flynn’s Lick Fire department and two bunnies that left as quickly as they came. Rabbits these days just can’t take 97 degree weather in the heat anymore.
