Camp 2's Island Amazing Race 2016

Hi everyone

We wanted to go over the rules and reveal the teams this year for everyone participating in todays Island Amazing Race:

The campers are split into 3 teams with a team leader ( Kyra, Mitchell and Miriam) to compete in an Amazing Race competition. 

Each team and leader starts at a different station, and at each station, they must complete a challenge to receive a clue from the challenge leader.  Once they have completed the challenge, the challenge leader will give them puzzle piece clues to lead them to the next challenge location. 

Once the teams have finished all of 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 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 it.

Here's who is on each team:

Team Name	Colour	Members	Team Leader
Team Lobster	Red	Claire, Maggie C, Grace, Ben Sawlor, Maggie T	Kyra
Team Sea Star	Blue	Zoe, Geneva, Kira, Evan, Ben Roddis	Miriam
Team Squid	Green	Sam, Max, Alex, Zach, Connell, Vance	Mitchell

Here are the names of the six stations you will race too:

1.        Undywater

2.       Seaweed

3.       Inukshuk

4.       Kan Jam

5.       Tide Pool  Scavenger Hunt

6.       Underwater Hunt

Good luck to everyone and have FUN :)

Mystery Creature Revealed

It's time to reveal this weeks Mystery Creature.  Here is a recap of the clues given during the week:

-       I can be found in St. Margaret’s Bay more often during the latter half of summer and I don’t have much of a brain and can’t swim very well.  

-        I have been told when the sun shines on me I look like the moon all lit up.

-        I swim near the surface using muscle in my umbrella and I can be washed ashore by strong winds.

If you guessed . . .

A Moon Jelly, you were correct!
