Adventures abound when heroes are around - and we had plenty of heroes at Summer Adventure Camp during Heroes Week!🦸
Capes were optional. Our club members made and flew kites instead. 🪁 Or made and wore their own hero badges in celebration.🌟 The City of Greenwood Fire-Rescue stopped by to show what real heroes look like up close.🚒 And Discovery Place Charlotte visited campers to help us discover outer space.🚀
That's what a hero looks like at the Club.💙
