AVON PARK, Fla. – May 2, 2019 – Young explorers who have completed kindergarten through grade five can discover a world of fun and educational activities at South Florida State College’s (SFSC) Camp Adventure 2019.

In Week 5, “Hakuna Matata Week,” July 15-19, we honor the original “Lion King” movie and celebrate its 25th anniversary with games, acting, luau party, and more. Our field trip will be to the movie theater to see Disney’s “The Lion King.”
Week 6, July 22-26, is “50 Hours of Camp Adventure” is the last camp week of that year and that means silly games and even sillier clothes and hair. Campers challenge counselors in games, dress up and karaoke. You won’t want to miss this Friday, because we’re bringing back the Glow Party—music, black lights, and glow-in-the-dark everything. Everyone will enjoy our traditional sundae bar and pizza party.
