Dear Camp Odyssey Parents,
Week 8 is our last week of Camp Odyssey, and we’re going to end it in style! Please take a look at these notes and reminders to best prepare you and your campers for the upcoming festivities. Here’s a little preview for what’s going on this week at Camp Odyssey:
• Tuesday is Shamrock Stock: Dress in green or shamrocks as we pay tribute to Ireland with games and music.
• Wednesday is CIT Jamboree: This is the day of our ALL CAMP SHOW in the evening! Campers should wear Camp Shirts during the day and parents and family should be ready to come out at night to see what creative acts the campers have come up with!
• Wednesday Night is the ALL CAMP SHOW! Parents, please join us at 6:00pm for the celebration of our incredible summer, with dances and performances from your campers. Get ready, because at 6:00pm on Wednesday Aug 11th, “Camp Odyssey is Out of this World!” We hope to see you there!
• Thursday is Get Ready... Get Set... Get Wet: This is a trip day to various water spots! Campers should bring swimsuits, towels, change of clothes, sunscreen, as well as a packed lunch, a snack, and water to drink.
o Setting Sail/One Fish/Two Fish will go the Elks Club Pool

• Friday is Friendship Forever: CAMP ENDS AT NOON TODAY! We celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Camp for the last day as we rejoice the new memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!
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.
Thanks for your cooperation!
