Summer 2024: Olympic Gold!

July 1 - August 9, 2024

The Olympics are back, and we’re excited to celebrate the XXXIII Olympiad by going for the gold in summer fun! Campers will design a sustainable Olympic Village, construct their own sports arenas, and come up with the wackiest games of their own – from zany marble runs to straw-sized javelin throws. What exactly happens when we pump our muscles and run at top-speed till our hearts beat super-fast. We’ll answer those questions and more. Campers will also explore the City of Lights in celebration of Paris 2024. Du plaisir aux Jeux olympiques d’été ? Oui oui!

WEEK 1 : Going for the Gold in Sustainability

July 1 - July 3 (3 days)

Geothermal energy systems, water management, low carbon menus: This year’s Olympics will aim for greater sustainability, with innovative solutions to have a climate-positive event. Using recyclables along with art supplies like pipe cleaners and clay, campers will design their own sustainable Olympic Village. What’s the eco-friendliest way to light your village in the City of Lights? What kind of food could Olympians eat to power their bodies and do the least harm to the planet? Can we welcome more bicycles on our village streets? Where does the wastewater go when everyone flushes at the same time? (Ewwww!!)

WEEK 2 : Muscles, Lungs, and a Whole Lot of Heart

July 8 - July 12

Different athletes have different skills, but all Olympians use their muscles, lungs, and heart. Campers will make movable models of lungs (that seem to breathe), hearts (that they can pump), and arm muscles (and bones) that they can flex. Campers will also craft miniature sports arenas (with catapults!) for indoor fun, and of course, pump their own muscles as they race outside!

WEEK 3 : City of lights

July 15 - July 19

Now that we’ve designed our Olympic Village and sports arenas, we have a whole city to explore. Campers will make a model of the Eiffel Tower and L’Arc de Triomphe. How does the arc in Paris compare with our own in Grand Army Plaza? Is the Champs-Elysses broader than Broadway – or Eastern Parkway? We’ll also make a solar oven to combine two of France’s culinary classics, bread and cheese, to make sun-melted cheesy bread.

WEEK 4 : Camp Olympics

July 22 - July 26

Who can make the fastest water slide, the wackiest marble run, the most accurate straw javelin throw? We’ll find out this week as camper teams compete for gold (camper-made) medals! Special prizes go to the most creative use of recyclables and consumables.

WEEK 5 : let the games begin

July 29 - August 2

The Olympics start this week! In preparation for the Opening Ceremony, campers will transform our camp into an Olympic arena – Camp Fort Greene style, of course. We’ll make the Olympic rings with everything from crystals to baking soda and vinegar. And we’ll recreate the Olympic flame – in a bottle.  Campers will rep their families’ home countries with flags and other friendly fun.

WEEK 6 : the games are still going

August 5 - August 9

Squirt gun water races with cups and string, hula hoop contests, jump-rope competitions, and the most colorful ring tosses you’ve ever seen: The Olympic Games continue at Camp Fort Greene. At our games, we’ll compile stats, averages, and create tally charts and other graphs to make sense of all the numbers associated with the games.

Pathfinder campers go in the field as scientists, use their own imaginations to design and make operable devices using tech, construct various materials to build sturdy structures, do arts and crafts, and play games that build math skills. In our commitment to giving each child a hands-in-the-soil, fun summer, Pathfinder campers also participate in gardening, basketball, soccer, free play, and field trips. At Camp Fort Greene, our campers go home sweaty, dirty, and radiantly happy.
