On Sept. 9 the camp hosted first, second and third graders, with fourth and fifth graders attending on Sunday.

Campers participated in events such as a scavenger hunt, challenge course, face painting, sporting games, nutrition, arts and crafts, and first aid.

The Kelseyville Fire Protection District provided a fire truck on Saturday and an ambulance on Sunday. The children we able to get into both vehicles and learn all about them.

Also on hand were Eddie and Dina, two dogs from Canine Companions, along with their master Mike Curran, so the children could learn the importance and impact these dogs have with the people of Lake County.

The campers, the Konocti Lioness volunteers and the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association volunteers who contributed so much of their time and talent to make Camp Discovery a success all had a great time, and the Lioness members look forward to providing this event again in the future.

Organizers thanked Riviera Market, Clear Lake State Park, the Leos from Cobb, the local Girl Scouts, and the nurses and staff at Konocti, Kelseyville and Lakeport school districts for their assistance.
