| Tuesday | Give a Greek welcome to Timothy Moore from the UT Classics Department who will fill our minds; then, we challenge Zeus to a lightning creating duel and test our scientific know-how and then get silly with Bathroom Olympics. |

| Thursday | It’s the Kidventure Olympics at our very own Austin’s Park! |

Special Note for This Week:
- Please make sure that your child comes to camp wearing a swimsuit every day but Thursday.
- Please note that we will be bringing our own lunches to Austin’s Park and Pizza. Please still send your camper with a lunch if you normally do.
- Remember that campers should wear their red KV shirt, tennis shoes (with socks!), and bring sunscreen and a water bottle every day!
- We are participating in a penny drive all summer long to benefit the Gulf Coast clean up efforts – see what you can find in those couch cushions!
- We would greatly appreciate any donations of newspapers.
A Note From the Director:
We only have two weeks left of camp! What will your child do without their daily dose of KV fun?? -Robin
