Week Five: Mashed Potatos

We’ve been having another wonderful week here at Camp Discovery.  The groups were divided between the werewolves and the  vampires.  At our Camp Discovery Olympics on Tuesday night, the vampires won the festivities.  We had a blast all week long catching catfish, dancing in the dining hall, and more.

Sixteen college men have spent many hours of labor putting on new tin roofs onto two of our cabins.  They came from a program called Build America to donate their time and money to help improve camps for people with disabilities across the nation.

Week Four: Fish Fillets

This week we’ve started camp with lots of familiar faces and a few campers are here for their first time.  The groups are divided between the Dragons and the Wizards this week.  We’ve had a lot of fun at outdoor recreation, spent some time fishing and enjoying the pool, Sunday night bingo, and generally enjoying the summer.  It’s been a great summer so far and we hope it continues!

Week Three: Kid’s Week 2010

It’s is now our week designated for children 18 years and younger and we’ve been having a blast.  It’s been a scorcher of a week so we’ve spent a lot of time at the pool to cool off and Flynn’s Lick Fire Department came by last night to spray everyone off and show off their fire engines.  This week the groups are divided between the Eagles and the Bears and tonight we’re going to see who prevails at our Camp Discovery Olympics.  Of course, some of the games will be held inside the pool.

Week Two: French Toast

This week has been getting off to a great start.  The two groups that competed last night in our Camp Discovery Olympics were the Hawks and the Mustangs.  The Hawks came out victoriously and are enjoying their meals first today.  We’ve spent some time fishing, at the pool and all over camp.  Currently, outdoor recreation is practicing ultimate frisbee on the field in the middle of camp and the other group is working on art projects in the pavilion next to the dining hall.  There is a surprise tonight from the local volunteer fire department, Flynn’s Lick.

Week One: Tenderloin Sandwiches

It has been a phenomenal week.  We closed out the week with a bunch of excellent talent at Wednesday’s night talent show including a comedian, dancers, singers and skits.  Last night we spent the time dancing the night away to all of this summer’s hot jams and yesterday’s hits.  The campers are currently being picked up as these pictures are put on the blog.  We’re going to miss all of the campers and hope they return next summer!  There are still five more weeks of camp with all kinds of wonderful campers to look forward to.

Week One Day Three: Salisbury Steak

This week we’ve had a wonderful group of campers ready to spend some time at Camp Discovery.  We’ve spent time night fishing, swimming in our pool, making all kinds of arts and crafts, outdoor recreation as well as our own Camp Discovery Olympics last night.  The campers and counselors are divided into two groups– the Water Benders and the Air Benders.  Last night the Water Benders prevaled at the Camp Discovery Olympics and took the rights to first meals today.  We’re looking forward to the talent show.  Campers are practicing and perfecting their performances for tonight.  Visitors are welcome every Wednesday night at 7pm for the talent show!

Camp Discovery 2010 Cabin Staff and Activity Leaders. Not Pictured: Dr. Dawn Hickman, Director, lifeguard, nurses.

This 2010 summer season at Camp Discovery is officially underway today.  The first week of campers are arriving as I type this.  We’re prepared for another summer of fun, sun, water, delicious camp food, and all the goodness that camp can handle.  We’ve spent two weekends underway here with orientation for our staff learning all about camp and getting everything ready for the season.  I know I’m excited, and if you were wondering I’m the guy with the red beard and the jeans on the left– Daniel, camp’s assistant director for three years now.  It’s gonna be awesome, but it tends to be awesome because of the campers that come here year after year.
