We Make Every Moment Count! Daily Schedule Information

Nothing is “typical” about Camp Odyssey! We make every minute count with an energetic, fun-filled Opening, special theme and programs each day; studios that captivate kids with art, music, sports, science, video and much more; and an energetic Closing to wrap up the fun. Each week brings at least one field trip or special event, and overnights are a time-honored tradition. Below is a sneak peak at a day in the life of Camp Odyssey.


Day Camp Studios

Studios are centers of activity that allow kids to express their creativity, spirit of adventure, brainpower and physical energy. Our broad range of studios are based on the premise that children will grow emotionally, physically and mentally when they are actively engaged in activities that they choose, challenge them, build relationships and are fun. Each day provides the opportunity to visit five different studios, each with multiple choices (for a total of 15 options). These include such varied selections as Art, Outdoor Adventure, Sports, Video, Tech Lab, Dance, and Wacky Science. Visit back soon for a complete list of our 2010 studio offerings!

Other Options : Early Drop-Off, After-Camps, Transportation, Overnights, etc.
