NEWS & NOTES FOR WEEK 5!

Dear Camp Odyssey Parents,

This Week: Each day is a different day of fun, and we want you to be ready for each one. Here’s what’s going on this week at Camp Odyssey:

• 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:
