As the week draws to a close at KSS Day Camp, all eyes are on the grand finale: Camp Day! It’s the ultimate celebration before saying goodbye, where laughter and excitement fill the air.

With imaginations running wild and energy levels soaring, Camp Day promises to be a day filled with laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories.
The Why Behind the Costumes
You might wonder, why the costumes? What purpose do they serve? Dressing up in costumes not only allows campers to express themselves creatively but also fosters a sense of unity and belonging in the shared experience of camp fun. Itβs a way to break free from the ordinary and step into a world of limitless possibilities, where every camper can become a superhero, a princess, or their favorite fictional character for the day.

Camp staff fully embrace the spirit of Camp Day by donning costumes that match the week’s theme or allows them to show off their creative side! From enthusiastic explorers to quirky scientists, staff members lead by example, showing campers that it’s okay to have fun and be goofy! Their participation not only adds to the festive atmosphere but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared excitement among campers and staff alike.
Choosing the Perfect Costume
Whether it’s a classic superhero ensemble, a whimsical fairy tale character, or a quirky invention of their own imagination, campers are free to choose costumes that reflect their individual interests and personalities. While there’s no requirement for costumes to align with the week’s theme, some campers may choose to incorporate elements of science into their attire as a playful nod to the camp’s overarching focus.

Duration of Costume Wear
As for how long campers will be wearing their costumes, the choice is entirely theirs. Some may opt to wear their costumes from the moment they arrive at camp until the final farewell of the day, while others may prefer to change into more comfortable attire after a few hours of play.
Borrowing Costumes
Unfortunately, KSS does not have costumes for campers to borrow, so staff will do their best to remind campers and parents of this tradition. The focus is on fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where every camper feels valued and celebrated for who they are.
Activities throughout the Day
Throughout Camp Day, the excitement doesn’t stop with costumes. The schedule is packed with a variety of camp activities designed to keep spirits and energy levels soaring. A highlight of the day is the large all-camp game, where campers come together for a thrilling and inclusive challenge that encourages teamwork and camaraderie.
