Send to a FriendNote About Theme Weeks
At Kidventure, the structure of each week of camp does not change. To ensure that the campers and counselors remain engaged and enjoy every week they attend, we change the theme of each week (and thus the activities to fit this new theme). The Discover and Explore age groups are following the ‘Great American Road Trip’ theme this year, while the Leads program follows it’s own set of theme weeks.
Discover (Ages 3-5) and Explore (Grades 1-7) Theme Weeks
Kidventure’s Great American Road Trip of 2012
Get ready to embark on an adventure through the wilds of the west, the back roads of forgotten places and the classic highways and byways of this great United States of America. We’ve gassed up the trusty KV RV, loaded up all necessary camping supplies and are hitting the open road for a vintage Kidventure summer like you have never experienced before. Throughout our road trip, the KV RV will travel to all points north, south east and west. Together we’ll have the time of our lives and discover the only thing better than a great American adventure is one shared with camp friends. So grab your stuff, and climb on in – this adventure is ready to roll!
