Dear Camp Odyssey Parents,
It’s a big, big week, here at Camp this week! The I LOVE Camp Festival, this Friday, is the culminating celebration of 20+ years of Camp Odyssey! We want everyone out here from 5 -8 on Friday Night to help celebrate. Spread word to other Camp friends that old campers, counselors, and other alumni will all be there for games, food, prizes, performances, a silent auction, and lots of fun. If it feels like you’re getting hit over the head with this event, it’s just because we want this to be the most amazing time in Camp Odyssey’s 20+ year history! Please come and celebrate with us!
This Week: Each day is a different day of fun. See more detailed information online by clicking each week on the website calendar. Here’s a little preview for what’s going on this week at Camp Odyssey:
• Yellow vs. Green: Choose to wear yellow or green and join this epic, timeless battle of colors!
• Chunk & Splatter: Bring the most disgusting foods and mixtures to fill old watermelons. We'll drop them from a great height and watch them... well, splatter.
• Fancy Pants Dance Party: Campers should wear the fanciest pants fit for a rockin' dance party.
• I LOVE Camp Festival: Wear your best, oldest Camp Odyssey shirts as we celebrate 20 years of Camp Odyssey! After Camp is over, we want every camper, parent, alum, or Camp Odyssey friend to come out from 5 - 8 for a free night of games, food, and fun!
