Reminders: Here are some other things going on at Camp Odyssey that you should keep in mind:
• Once again, CAMP ODYSSEY CLOSES ITS DOORS AT NOON ON FRIDAY (the last day of Camp). Sharp! Please make arrangements to have your campers picked up from Camp Odyssey at that time.
• We still have a limited number of Camp shirts available! There are still some I Love Camp tie-dye shirts, as well as a few Mud Madness shirts. We also still have some purple 2010 shirts, and some shirts from years past. Sizes and numbers are limited, so come peruse the piles of shirts in the Camp Office and grab an extra piece of Camp Garb to help make your memories to last a life time!
• Mark Your Calendar: Camp Odyssey Day at Jolly Roger Splash Mountain on August 14th. Contact the Camp office and buy your half-priced arm bands today! These $25 armbands will get admission to Splash Mountain from 10am-6pm, rides from 2-6pm at Jolly Roger Amusement Park, and a game of miniature golf at treasure or jungle golf from 10am-6pm. Festivities also include a Silent Auction at Splash Mountain to support the Camp Scholarship fund. Take advantage of this incredible offer today!
• Please pack a snack for your child to eat at group time since we burn lots of calories during the day. We also encourage you to send water/drinks with your child to keep them hydrated in the heat. We have water fountains throughout Camp for them to use as well.
• Campers should not wear any flip flops, crocs, heelies, or any type of open-toed shoes while at camp, due to outdoor studios and special activities.
• The Z-Snack Shack, our Camp Store, is open every day during lunch time and After-Camp. We’ve got lots of different snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices, so be sure to check it out!
• Stay on top of the Camp happenings and news updates by checking the “news” section of our website (campodyssey.org) daily and also by “liking” us on Facebook.

Teen NYC Trip
Parents/Guardians
We will be leaving the Upper School Gym promptly at 9AM Wednesday, July 25th. If you are running late please call to let us know. Medications need to be discussed and checked with the Camp Nurse. Please pack light. Campers have to be able to carry their own bags, because we will be walking several blocks, riding the subway and ferry on Friday. In the past rolling suitcases have been a hassle.
Wednesday and Thursday campers will have a large amount of free time to explore NYC with their assigned counselor. It is very important that campers stay with their counselor at all times. We do suggest bringing cell phones, but we ask that campers are responsible with keeping track of them. Counselors’ cell phone numbers will be given to them in case of emergencies. Wednesday night we will be walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to get ice cream. Campers will need to have money for Brooklyn’s ice cream/snacks/drinks and 3 lunches. We suggest anything between $80-$100 should cover the food and souvenirs. Campers will need to keep track of their own money.
Friday morning we plan on waking up early and standing outside CBS’s Early Morning Show 7AM-9AM (depending on when we arrive!)
So keep a look out for kids in purple shirts!!!
Things to Pack
Bathing Suit, Dress Clothes (ex: collared shirt and shorts- boys, nice shirt/shorts sundress-girls) PURPLE CAMP T-SHIRT for Friday, Money for souvenirs/snacks/and 3 lunches, Cell phone, Cell phone charger, Comfortable Walking Shoes
Please do not bring any electronics that you cannot afford to lose. We will not be responsible for them.
If there are any questions, comments, concerns, please call! We are looking forward to a great adventure to NYC! –Katie Vincent 410 430 2832

MUD MADNESS REMINDERS
Mud Madness is this Friday! This is the biggest, zaniest day of the season and there’s a lot to keep in mind! Here are different things to wear, bring, and remember for this classic Camp Day!
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR:
• All campers getting in the mud should wear OLD clothes or swimsuits (so old that you might want to throw them away instead of trying to clean them). Swimsuits or board shorts with no side pockets (and an old t-shirt) work well.
• All campers should also bring the following: towel(s), an extra change of clothes, and a bag to place the old, muddy clothes in. Goggles are a good idea too.
• Pack an extra snack because the Lower School will be closed and After Camp will be outside for the rest of the day.
PARENTS PICK-UP/DISMISSAL:
• The driveway will be closed for dismissal, so please park at the Lower School parking lot and come over to the Mud Pit to sign out your campers.
• When coming to pick up your camper, you may wish to line your seats with towels or trash bags
• Parents are invited to partake in the madness before they pick up their children at 3:00!
AFTER-CAMP:
• After-Camp will be all outside on Friday. The Mud Pit will still be open during After-Camp Super Play till 4:00pm
• After-Camp swimmers will need a clean bathing suit, clean towel, and shampoo with them if they plan on attending swimming on Friday for After-Camp
NOTE: There will also be clean, mud-free activities for campers who do not wish to get in the mud.

• Tuesday is Plaid Parade Day. Campers should wear plaid, as much as they can find! Marlins, Dolphins, and Sharks in Art 101 should bring a white shirt if they want to do a special plaid tie-dye.
• Wednesday is Endless Outdoor Adventure. The adventure course is one of the most popular studios; campers will get a chance to partake in many different adventure-type activities, all at an age appropriate level. Campers should wear lightweight clothes that may get messy, sunscreen, and comfortable, closed-toe shoes.
• Thursday is Heroes vs. Villains. This is an epic showdown between Camp heroes and villains. Campers should dress in hero and villain costumes in order to take part in the epic battle!
• Friday is MUD MADNESS! Mud Madness is the zaniest day of the year. Campers who wish to play in the mud pit need to wear old clothes (so old that you could just throw them away immediately after) and bring these things: Goggles are a good idea, a towel, change of clothes, and a bag to place muddy clothes in. When picking up your child, you may wish to line your seats with towels or trash bags.
Reminders: Here are some other things going on at Camp Odyssey that you might find helpful or interesting:
• Mark Your Calendar: I Love Camp Festival on August 6th from 5 – 8 PM. Parents, campers, alumni, and all friends of Camp Odyssey are all invited!

We will then check into the hotel,Quality Inn at Kings Mill, campers will have the option of spending time in their room or swim in the pool. Campers must be in their rooms by 11pm. They must sleep in their assigned rooms and stay in their room until the next morning. If there is a camper that is not following the rules, you will be called and asked to come pick your child up.
Campers must be dressed in their Camp Shirt to come down tobreakfast in the hotel at 8:30AM. After breakfast we will pack up and check out of the hotel so that we can drive to Busch Gardens.

The arrival time back to Salisbury is not certain. We will have you camper call/text you when we leave and when we are 30min away from Salisbury. It will be late!! Any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to call me.

Click here to download the Zany Press
Good Afternoon!
We are looking forward to a great Week 2 at Camp Odyssey! We want your child to have everything he or she may need for the different theme days of the week, so here is a short description of what will be happening:
• Tuesday is Nifty Neato Nerdy Day! Wear your craziest, nerdiest clothes as we honor all things
silly, fun, and especially nerdy.
• Wednesday is Big Brother, Big Sister Day! We’ll have a lot of fun games that celebrate those who hold it over our heads that they were born first and know more than we do (yeah, right!).
• Thursday is Tie-Dye Day: Festival of Colors! This is another camp classic, where all the campers can make their very own bit of tie-dye. Campers should wear old clothes that could get stained and bring something to be tie-dyed (white works best). Bring the clothing to be tie-dyed in a large zip-lock plastic bag with your campers name written on it.
• Friday is Pre-Independence Day! We’re going to have a huge parade and celebrate Independence Day, and everyone is invited to join us! Campers are encouraged to bring bikes, roller skates, etc. to ride in the parade. Parents are welcome to come and watch the parade at 1:20 pm.
Reminders: Please pack a snack for your child to eat at group time since we burn lots of calories during the day.We also encourage you to send water/drinks with your child to keep them hydrated throughout the day. We have water fountains throughout the camp for them to use as well.
• When considering what to do about your child’s snack, don’t forget about the Z-Snack Shack! With great prices for everyday snacks and drinks, the Camp Store is open at lunch and After-Camp, so be sure to send a few extra dollars.
• Odyssey Academy: We still have openings at many of our Academy camps! Don’t miss your chance to get incredible experiences in music, sailing, art, and more! Check our catalog or look online for more details!
• Horizons @ The Salisbury School is having a flapjack fundraiser on July 3rd! From 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar on 2703 North Salisbury Boulevard is serving breakfast to help support the Horizons program. Horizons works to make a difference in the lives of economically-disadvantaged children through focused academic intervention during the summer months and during the school year. The breakfast is $6.50 per person. Contact Donna for tickets and enjoy!
• Stay on top of the Camp happenings and news updates by checking the “news” section of our website (campodyssey.org) daily and also by “liking” us on Facebook. We will post frequent updates to both so you can find out the up-to-the-minute details for what is going on at Camp Odyssey!
• Be sure to check the theme day calendar located on the front page of the CampOdyssey.org
website!
Needs: We would greatly appreciate it if you have any of the following items and would be willing to donate them for our zany special activities. Your trash could be our treasure!
• Games: Go Fish, Trouble, Checkers, any Math related games, Puzzles
• Large white bed sheets

Water, Water Everywhere Reminders!
Hey Camp Odyssey Parents. Remember that tomorrow is our first Festival of the Summer, Water, Water Everywhere! We are going to have tons of water games in the afternoon to help cool off after a hot week. For those who want to take part in the watery, wet fun, these are some things your camper will need to bring to maximize his/her fun and saftey:
- Come wearing a swimsuit/trunks under his/her clothes
- Come wearing sunscreen and bring more in case your camper needs to reapply after a few hours
- Bring a towel and change of clothes for after the festival
- Bring flipflops so that your camper's shoes and socks don't get soaked and squishy
- Campers can bring a water soaker (squirt gun or other water dispensing device) for the huge water war during the festival. If your camper chooses to bring a soaker, make sure it is labeled with his/her name so it doesn't get lost
- Campers are also encouraged to wear goggles to protect them from accidental splashing
As always, thanks for your cooperation and a great summer so far!
