DISCOVERY SUMMER
DISCOVERY CAMP Choose Your Own Adventure, are a series of children’s gamebooks where each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist
(typically a child takes on a role relevant to the adventure, such as a private investigator, mountain climber, race car driver, doctor, or spy and are generally gender- and race-neutral).
The reader then makes choices that determine the main character’s actions and the plot’s outcome as they read the story. This summer we will be using this book series as our summer
theme and the implementation of Thursday choice activities! As an added enrichment – these books will be available for our campers to enjoy during their down and free time!
