How the Scavenger Hunt Works
Start your adventure at any participating location where you will receive a clue booklet. As you explore, visit up to six beautiful sites across the Great Swamp watershed. Each site holds a unique challenge, and your goal is to solve the clues to uncover hidden treasures. Along the way, you’ll walk forest trails, spot local wildlife, and crack codes.
Each completed challenge earns you a stamp in your booklet, which gives you a ticket for the prize raffle. Moreover, the more sites you visit, the higher your chances of winning one of the incredible prizes! Take your time, as you can visit the locations at your own pace over the weekend.
Celebration and Prizes
Wrap up your weekend adventure with a fun celebration on Sunday afternoon at the Great Swamp OEC. From 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, join us around the campfire for s’mores and the prize drawing. Prizes include six partner prize packages and a fantastic grand prize: a $150 REI gift card, an Osprey Hikelite 26 Backpack, and an Osprey Moki Youth Backpack!
