Discovery Camp is designed to introduce Special Olympics athletes to new sports, skills, a talent show, and a variety of leisure activities. In addition to discovering new sports and the talent show, the athletes have opportunities to be creative with arts and crafts, enjoy an outdoor movie, and listen to campfire stories while making s’mores.
