Fall Camp Week 6: Potions, Rain, and Scavenger Hunts

One of the Raven's photo scavenger hunt locations.

Hello Adventurers! 

It was a fantastic week with all of you, and I’m sure that everyone enjoyed all of the activities that we planned for this week. The Foxes made magical, wishful potions and made them bubble with fairy dust and alligator tears. Despite the rain, the Ravens competed against the Falcons in a photo scavenger hunt and played a real-life version of Guess Who. The Falcons played the scavenger hunt and Guess Who and finished off their evening by a few rounds of Wink Murderer.

Beginning with our foxes, we headed into the woods to scavenge for the potion ingredients. We had to look for items such as a pinecone, poplar leaves, dirt, and a purple flower. 

Whenever we all got our ingredients, we ran back to the Ski Lodge where we watched the magic happen. As Mr. Paton and Georgia delicately poured fairy dust and alligator tears into the potions, the Foxes had to make a wish. If their potion bubbled, their wish would come true!

Oliver must’ve made an awesome wish because his potion bubbled and spilled over the sides of his jar. We can’t wait to see your wish come true!

For our Ravens, we put on our best rubber boots and rain jackets as we embarked on our adventure. We started off by a photo scavenger hunt where there was a list of pictures we had to take and the Ravens were able to find all of the places with ease!

After our scavenger hunt, we split into two groups and battled in a game of Guess Who. Each group had to ask ‘Yes or No’ questions to figure out who the opponent's person was. They were very close games and it was great to see the two team’s incredible teamwork.

A game of Wink Murderer ended our evening with the Falcons.

Lastly, our Falcons competed against the Ravens in the photo scavenger hunt. With our Falcons finding and posing for the pictures just as quick as the Ravens, the competition ended in a tied game. After the scavenger hunt, we played Guess Who much like the Ravens did the previous day. 

To end off our day, we headed back to the Ski Lodge and played a few rounds of Wink Murderer. Sophie went around the group and selected a detective and murderer and watched the game unfold as all of the player’s played with confidence and sportsmanship.

I spy with my little eye. . . nine Falcons hidden amongst the trees.

In the end it was a week full of tough challenges for all three teams but they persevered and finished them all. Thank you to everyone’s teamwork and kindness last week and we can’t wait to see you all again.

Yours in adventure, 

Sarah, Georgia, Sophie, and Mr. Paton
