MILL POND DISCOVERY HUNT
Looking for summer activities for your kids? Tired of typical
sports camps? Try out our half-day Mill Pond Discovery Hunt!
Back by popular demand, Unplugged Adventures brings you a
unique and challenging half-day Discovery Hunt around the trails
that surround Mill Pond. Can you find the lost gold of the Mill Pond
pirates???
Once gathered at Mill Pond, Unplugged Adventures staff will
review expectations for the event including schedule, rules and
safety information. Participants will meet with their team and
Team Leader, choose a team name, and then compete against
the other teams in a friendly, introductory challenge. The challenge
is meant to foster teamwork and problem-solving skills.
After completing the intro. challenge, teams will line-up to start the Discovery Hunt! Team members will work together to navigate the trails, decipher clues, discover checkpoints, and complete challenges. They have 2 hours to find as much of the "lost gold" as possible! Team Leaders stay with their team at all times.
After all teams complete the adventure, individual teams gather to debrief on their experience. Debriefing is a critical part of the adventure learning experience. Finally, the entire group will reconvene to review final scores, and to share highlights and a few laughs.
