October 2009 Grand Gathering activities and suggestions. Summary page 2

[Kagoguen]

The activities that are being planned, are they going to be just during the day? Are there going to be other activities after the parks close? Besides drinking, which I will definately join in on.

I would like to suggest a Fear Factor Eating/Drinking contest at Oct GG.

Anyone up for something like this ???




Guess where this idea came from.



Al: Plus I just squashed a bug that was on my desk and ate it. Things can't get much better.

Jim: What kind of bug was it?

Frank: With or without the legs?

Rob: The legs have all the fiber. Don't miss out.

When we camped in Maine for the week a couple of weeks ago, our family had scavenger hunt at the campground. It was AWESOME! My sister and her husband walked all over the campground the day before played, and made a list of 30 things/clues to find/identify. It was sooo much fun, the campground owners asked for a copy of the list and they now do our scavenger hunt on a weekly/semi-weekly basis with any new campers!
The list consisted of things you had to find and record where you found them (in the office, in the store, different site numbers, pool area, etc.)(i.e. 5 pink flamingos, lobster on a rock (in the office they had a paperweight that was a lobster painted on a rock), trailer with pelican out front, trailer named after a duck (Mallard), trailer named after a cat (Cougar).
It also consisted of having to collect things and bring them back (i.e. a feather, 10 red berries, foreign coin, packet of pepper, 3 pine cones, maple leaf, 6 orange flower petals, red shirt, map of Massachusetts, a decal (not adhered to any object), etc.
It really was a lot of fun, and it got the entire campground in on it, as none of the items could be collected or found at your own site, so, for example, we had to ask other campers if we could have a packet (not a shaker) of pepper, or borrow a red shirt, or a map, or an uncooked egg, or a piece of bread, etc.) We also had to find out the names of people/things (name of the 3 women that worked in the office, the name of the maintenance man and what country he was from (Omar from Khazakstan, btw, lol) which again, got us talking to everyone, employees and campers alike.
We had an hour time limit, and we were penalized for each 5 minutes over the hour. We played it as teams, and there were small prizes awarded (my sis went to the Dollar Store and picked up a bunch of things like photo frames, candles, toys for the kids, light sticks, things for the campers, etc.) and the winners each got a $10.00 Dunkin Donuts gift card.
It really turned out to be one of the highlights of our week for both adults and kids, and it will now be a tradition for our camping trips every year!!
