Linda Allen, SATH, Press Release

The 2023 KAMP Dovetail, with the theme “The Musical,” will take place the week of June 19-23 at Rocky Fork State Park.  A fun-filled week is planned, and the community is invited to stop out and see us during our week of camp.

KAMP kicks off with an opening ceremony at 7 p.m. at the amphitheater.   At 8 p.m., the campers will enjoy a live band featuring Blue Steel. Our evening will conclude with fireworks by Fayette Fire In The Sky.

On Tuesday, we rise and shine at 6:30 a.m.. We will participate in boating, group pictures, putt-putt, horseback riding, fishing, music and dance, recreation and arts and crafts.

At 10:30 a.m., we will be having a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new horse barn. That evening, we will enjoy a performance by the Cincinnati Children’s Theater, and afterward we will have an all-camp musical scavenger hunt.    
          
On Wednesday during the day, we have horse-drawn wagon rides for a special treat for the campers.

Wednesday evening, June 21 at 7 p.m., SATH’s KAMP Dovetail will host its 14th annual auction and carnival at Rocky Fork State Park campground. The auction and carnival are open to the public and all are invited to attend, so bring your lawn chair, come out and enjoy an evening at KAMP Dovetail.  

Community members are encouraged to donate craft items, homemade treats or any other auction items. Campers will also be donating items to be auctioned off. Sports fans will be delighted with the sports memorabilia items available for sale. We have autographed items from Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Red Elly De La Cruz and many more great items.

Anyone interested in donating items may drop them off at KAMP Dovetail anytime on June 19, 20 or 21 before 6 p.m. All proceeds will be used to help fund this year’s KAMP Dovetail.  

For more information, please feel free to leave a message for Linda Allen, KAMP Dovetail Director, at (937) 366-6657.   Bring your lawn chair and come on out to the Auction. Hope to see you there.

On Thursday, we will be heading to Star Cinemas to watch the musical “The Little Mermaid” and then head back to the camp to enjoy a sack lunch and have fun with our afternoon activities.

In the evening, we will be treated to a hog roast and a performance by illusionist Jake Lindsey. The campers will also perform a musical dance on stage at the Amphitheater and end the evening with a D.J. and farewell dance.

Finally, on Friday, we will enjoy breakfast and an awards ceremony. Following the ceremony, campers will depart and say goodbye to another successful and loved KAMP week.
