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.

Week 4
| June 18-22 |
Animal Planet
Pack your bags – the expedition is about to begin. With our
trusty compass, map, and binoculars, we’re headed out to explore
the vast Tate’s wilderness. Our journey will include a glimpse
into wildlife, reptiles, and our ever changing environment.
Week 5 | June 25-29 |
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!"
 Week
7 | July 9-13 | Medieval Mania
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.
Week 8 | July 16-20 | Indiana Jones and the Legend of Taboo's
Lost Treasure
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
9 | July 23-27 | Child vs. Wild
Based in part on our popular “Survivor” theme, this
week includes tribal challenges and games that involve both skill
and survival for our older campers. Discovery campers will journey
into the jungle for a week of exploration and imagination. Spirit
and teamwork are essential.
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. You will feel the excitement all the
way from your head to your wrinkled toes.
