10 Amazing 2012 Weekly Themes

Week 1 | May 29-June 1| Tate's Treasure Island (4 day week)
Legend tells us that many years ago there was an island in the tropical Tatesibbean where ancient pirates once hid their treasures. Join us as we voyage in search of the lost treasure. “X” marks the spot, but keep your eyes peeled as pirates lurk around the island. Shiver me timbers!

Week 2 | June 4-8 | CSI: Camp Scene Investigation - Return of the Orks
Strange and mysterious things are happening around the camp. The evidence suggests that those pesky little mythical creatures who feast on trash known as the Orks may be responsible. We're calling all detectives to join the Tate's CSI (Camp Scene Investigation) to search for clues, process the evidence and analyze our findings. Help us as we work together to solve the mystery of the summer.

Week 3 | June 11-15 | Star Wars
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . . there was a planet called Tate’s. And for five years, one of the most requested themes on this planet was STAR WARS. As this planet celebrates it’s 30th camp anniversary, the time is now! Unite with the alliance as we host our first ever STAR WARS week complete with dress up days, Jedi training, and maybe even a few characters that you didn’t see in the movies.

Carnival

Fire up the popcorn machine and crank up the music because it’s time for the Tate’s Carnival 2012. Step right up and try your hand at the ring toss, stop by the face painting booth, make a pitch at the dunking booth, or maybe win a special prize at one of the game stations. These are just a few of the many activities awaiting you at the Tate’s Carnival.

Week 6 | July 2-6 | Christmas in July (4 day week - closed on July 4)
Ho Ho Ho! Hang the stockings, decorate the tree, and gather around the campfire for some old fashioned Christmas Carols as we celebrate Christmas in July. Keep your eyes open for that greedy old Grinch of Tatesville who hangs in the shadows trying to spoil the fun. He won't steal our Christmas! We'll have ornament making, snowball fights, sled races, and maybe even a visit from the jolly old man from the North Pole. "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

We will travel to the Kingdom of Exploria, seated next to the younger province of Discoveryshire where reports tell us that there is a great unrest in the region. Battle lines will be drawn. Forge your alliances now! Who will emerge victorious? It is during these times that Heroes and Legends will be born.

Indiana Jones and the Legend of Taboo’s Lost Treasure
It’s a race against the clock as all campers unite with Tennessee Jones (Indy’s brother) in the hunt for Taboo the Squirrel’s lost treasure. Suspicion hangs in the air as the suspense builds. Was spunky the skunk involved? What about Fred Red Fox? Has anyone even seen Taboo this week? Together we will search for artifacts and hopefully discover the treasure before time runs out!

Week 10 | July 30-August 3| Wild Water
Continuing our longstanding tradition, we are pleased to close out the summer with our ever so popular Wild Water Week! So, gather the squirters, stretch out the water hose, soap up the slip n' slide and crank up the swimming pools because this week promises to be packed with wet and wild FUN.
