the “Huge” Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition and Dinosaur
Egg Hunt. The event period was Ice Age cool when we enjoyed a Scavenger Hunt to find out more about our friends old and new. Happy Birthday Buddy! Chef Leo's cake was great. Remember there is no camp on Wednesday in observance of 4th of July! Week 2 is Captain America Week, Picture Day and a camp wide picnic! Remember to always check your On Campus Happenings calendar to see what’s in store. Special Events include: Camp Play, Family Fun Day, Water Fun Day, Carnival, and so much more!
