Adventure Camp (2003)

Adventure Camp is a television program being shown on the Discovery Kids Channel and to be shown on its replacement, The Hub. The show takes place at Sea World Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa. It is based upon the real life camps of Sea World/Busch Gardens Adventure Camps. The show is not staged, and the campers do take part in real life Adventure camp activities such as diving in the Sea World shark tank and cleaning up after animals on the veldt at Busch Gardens Africa. The summary is four kids from the United States and four kids from the United Kingdom go to Florida. They have many adventures such as feeding Orcas at Seaworld and cleaning up after animals at Busch Gardens. Adventure Camp aired in March 2008. It is being shown on Discovery Kids. Many of the adventures are exciting, thrilling, and sometimes gross, but at the end someone who showed a quality such as teamwork would receive a necklace and the honor to get to go on an extra special adventure the following day. Each camper received a necklace and were told that if they earned 20 beads on the necklace by the end of the trip, then they would get a close encounter with an animal of some kind, which turned out to be swimming with dolphins. Domonique was the only one not to earn enough beads, but Melissa felt that Domonique deserved them more and then gave two of her beads to Domonique. The counselors then gave Melissa a chance to earn the extra 2 needed by participating in a manatee release.
