Island Amazing Race 2022

The campers are split into 3 teams with a team leader to compete in an Amazing Race competition. Each team and leader will start at a different station, and at each station, they must complete a challenge to receive a puzzle piece from the challenge leader. Once they have completed the challenge, the challenge leader will give the team leader the puzzle pieces to lead them to the next challenge location. Once the teams have finished all the challenges, they will have all the pieces to complete a puzzle; once they complete the puzzle, it will lead them to the finish line. All team members, including the team leader must go to the finish line to complete the race!

The team that finishes first will receive 4 points, the second team 2, and the last team 0.5 points. There will be opportunities to gain extra points in each challenge, so the fastest team may not necessarily win! There is a 20 minute maximum time limit on each challenge, although the teams do not have to stay the whole 20 minutes at each station once they have finished it. There will be a bonus challenge for teams if there is a tie.

1st Place: 4 points

2nd Place: 2 points

3rd Place: 1/2 points

Schedule for Monday July 4th, 2022

Hi everyone:

Back in 2002 Scott completed the prep for planning his very fist camp. We had four campers signed up but only three showed up That fist Sunny Monday we made plankton nets out of women's nylons and rowed Campers around on a big ski tube as they dove for sand dollars in a reef that now no longer remains. It was a magically fun day for all four of us and we couldn't wait to do it again, and goodness we did!

Fast forward 19 summers to today, Scott is on his last day of prepping before the start of the 2022 camp. This year a record 89 campers are registered! Unlike in 2003, Scott is very thankful to have 12 counsellors and junior counsellors, many who grew up at the I.P.Y.N.C, help him make this the best camp ever.

Here is ta look at Monday's schedule for both the Cottage and Boathouse groups
