Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Ares, Apollo, and the rest of the Olympians have decided to "adopt a child" for the summer. The perks for this adoption - you gain some of their power. The non-perks of this adoption - you tick them off you could be dust. You are now formally invited to Camp Half-Blood where Mr. D. will begin your training. The quest is simple... find the Golden Fleece. Camp loosely based on the Sea of Monsters. Snack and swim time are included with this camp. Bring a sack lunch each day.

This tale begins with each camper stepping into an old oak wardrobe and traveling to the magical land of Narnia. A spell has been cast upon the land and the Youth Center is blanketed with snow OR so the story goes. This year's featured novels are the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. Come and see how we blend these two books together to create our own tale. Snack, swim time, and zipline are included with this camp. Bring a sack lunch each day.
