Divided into six, two-week units, Gold Medal Adventures is designed to provide a day-camp experience in an environment you know and trust. Over the course of the summer children will develop skills, celebrate accomplishments and spend time with friends. The units include:

Gold Medal Adventures Challenge Program

The Gold Medal Adventures Challenge Program offers children opportunities to participate in Brain-Builder, Body-Builder, and Team-Builder activities.

• Brain-Builder activities highlight important skills in literacy, math, and science.

After completing an activity, children receive builder stickers for their journals.
