BIG KIDS AMAZING RACE RULES AND TEAMS ANNOUNCED!

Big Kids Amazing Race 2014

The campers are split into 3 teams to compete in an Amazing Race competition.  Each team starts at a different station.  At each station they must complete a challenge to receive map puzzle pieces from the challenge leader.  Once they have completed the challenge, the challenge leader will give them the puzzle pieces that lead the team to the next challenge location.  Once the teams have finished all 6 challenges, they put all map puzzle pieces together that leads to the finish line marked with an X.

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 min 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 the race.

Team Name	Colour	Members
Team Squid	Green	Michael, Lily, David, Alyssa
Team Sea Star	Blue	Miriam, Meagan, Sydney, Emmy,
Team Lobster	Red	Mitchell, Jackson, Milo, Skyra

Mystery Creature Revealed!

Here were the four clues given about the Mystery Creature this week:

They were:

1. I am found wide spread in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas. 

2. I have huge roundish pectoral fins for walk along the sea floor looking for food such as small crabs and fish.  I expand these fins like wings when I get threatened to help scare off predators.

3. I have drumming muscles in my bladder to help me make grunting sounds which part of my name means in French.

4. I have large scales all over my body and I am closely related to a trumpet fish.

And the Mystery Creatures is . . .

A FLYING GUNARD FISH LIKE THE ONE IN THE AQUARIUM IN THE LIVING ROOM! :)

MUD SLIDING CANCELLED and Tuesdays Revised Schedule

Hello:

We had to cancel the Mud Sliding field trip for Tuesday because of lack of drivers for the campers.  To make up a little for having to cancel, we had the Campers stay an extra hour for an Epic Super long "After Camp Activity" that made Milo flies like Superman!

Tomorrow we meet at 9 am and finish at or regular time of either 3 pm or 5 pm, depending on if the camper is in the After Camp Program or not.

Reminder to  parents about kayak trip on Wednesday. Campers need to arrive at cottage at 8 am.  Some parents indicated they could drive directly to kayaking at 9 am.  This fine but let us know if you are dropping your children off at the Cottage or meeting us at the Kayaking in East Dover.  More about the kayak trip tomorrow.

Here's the schedule for tomorrow:

Peace, Love and The Dog Days of Summer,
