Amazing 2010 Weekly Themes
Week
1 | June 1-4 | Pirates and Princesses
Errrr matey - hoist me black and white flag and prepare to set sail
as we voyage across the Tatesibbean. Adventure awaits us in every
port where "X" marks the spot and buried treasure is within
our reach. We'll have a swashbuckling good time, and nobody has
to walk the plank except for maybe an old counselor or two. Shiver
me timbers!
Week
2 | June 7-11 | Weird Science
Welcome to the world of amazing experiments and cool activities
that make you say WOW! We will join our make-believe, yet legendary,
Professor Theodore Themopolis for a journey into the realm of scientific
discovery. With one part science and two parts imagination combined
with some systematic knowledge, the campus is our laboratory. White
coats on - beakers in hand -- here we go!
Week
3 | June 14-18 | Indiana Jones and the Legend of Taboo's Lost Treasure
It’s a race against the clock as all campers join Indiana
Jones in the hunt for Taboo the Squirrel’s lost treasure.
Suspicion lurks around every corner as mystery and intrigue creep
into the camp. Was spunky the skunk involved? What about Fred Red
Fox? Has anyone even seen Taboo this week . . . ? Together we will
search for clues and hopefully discover the treasure before time
runs out!

the hidden magical flip flops. We’re even going to break out
the limbo pole . . . how low can you go?
Week 6 | July 5-9 | Wild West
Howdy pardner – let’s giddy up and hit the trail as
we head back to explore the days of yesteryear. Meet me at the General
Store where we’ll gather some supplies including games without
batteries, some maps to the old Tate’s Gold mine, and a little
grub to throw on the campfire along the way. And to round out the
week, we’re going to have a Tate’s County Fair. Yeeee
doggies . . . I can't wait!
 Week
7 | July 12-16 | Around the World in 5 Days
Ladies and gentlemen, please turn off all electronics and return
your tray tables and seatbacks to their full and upright positions
as we embark on a journey around the world. Each day will take us
to new and exciting places as we experience different cultures,
games, contests, and make some amazing memories. Don’t forget
your passport!
Week 8 | July 19-23 | Halloween in July
Boooo! Break out the costumes, fluff up the scarecrow, and gather
around the campfire for some apple cider and ghost stories because
we’re waiving our magic wands and celebrating Halloween early
this year. That’s right - this was among the top three most
requested themes for 2010 and we just couldn’t resist a week
of Halloween fun including a day of trick or treating.
 Week
9 | July 26-30 | Survivor
The tribal lines are drawn and spirit fills the air! Teams participate
in friendly competitions to gain points throughout the week. Some
challenges involve skill and energy while others involve thought
and problem solving. Group unity and participation are essential.
All eyes are focused on the closing tribal council where the team
with the most points will be crowned the new Tate's Survivor.
Week 10 | August 2-6 | Wild Water
Some things just shouldn't be changed . . . and this is
one of them. As is tradition, we are pleased to close out the summer
with our ever 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.
