Held annually, Camp Goodwill is an opportunity for participants and staff from all our program locations to gather and enjoy the great outdoors, fun and games, and of course, a cookout! The event is highly anticipated throughout the year and this year’s camp – with a dinosaur theme – was a roaring success!
On Wednesday, June 5 our Community Opportunities Club North (COC North) located at Underwood Parkway in Wauwatosa was transformed into a Jurassic Park for our 7th Day Services Camp Goodwill. Our theme for our 2019 event was “I Dig Camp Goodwill” and our activities, crafts, and décor highlighted our favorite prehistoric pals – dinosaurs! 
Sporting matching dino-green camp t-shirts, participants enjoyed a Dinosaur Dig for fossils in our sand pit, geocached for dinosaur eggs in COC North’s lush woods, created their own fossils from clay, had their pictures taken with a “real” dinosaur, and won fantastic prizes in Thunder Lizard Bingo. Each of these stations was supervised by volunteers from throughout the Goodwill organization who were eager to take part in the fun. The group of participants, staff and volunteers worked up a brontosaurus-sized appetite around noon and enjoyed grilled hot dogs, chips, fruit, beans and dessert.
The 2019 Camp Goodwill tricera-topped all our expectations! We are looking forward to enjoying more sun, fun, and food with friends at next year’s event.
