We are implementing new programs, making improvements, and program progression will provide a challenge for campers who attend more than one week to keep them interested and having fun. Campers will spend four days per week at the Adventure Camp site located at beautiful Ruskin Cave. Yellow Creek, gently winding through 27 rolling country acres, and five natural caves provide the backdrop for an unforgettable experience. The largest swimming pool in Dickson County gives campers a break from the summer heat. The natural beauty and splendor of caves is explored as the amateur spelunkers are taken on guided tours to learn about stalagmites, stalactites and cave conservation.
Nature hikes teach children about ecology and the importance of protecting our environment.
The children are encouraged to use their imaginations and creativity for these projects by using items they find in the natural environment. Team building experiences begin on the first day as each group sets up a site as temporary shelter and fun games are chosen that utilize the team concept for participation and completion of the activity. Campers will spend one day each week at The Renaissance Center where they will be treated to laser and planetarium shows in the CyberSphere, the center's 3D domed theatre, live performances in the Michael Faraday Science Theatre, computer, drama, music and art workshops. The deadline for camp registration for all sessions is May 21, 2001. All rights reserved.
