Teen Council Led Scavenger Hunt on Snowshoes!

i Jan 16th by

Last week our Teen Council led an activity for the entire group.  The Teen Council is a group of student leaders who choose to take on extra responsibility and help to make the KYC a better place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We used our snowshoes to get around the KYC’s property in deep snow.  It was a good chance to practice using our snowshoes, as we use these to walk trails, climb mountains, and to reach beautiful places in the winter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some Teen Council members and their peers.  This was their challenge:

Directions: Groups of 3 or 4, make sure one group member has a camera.  At least one group member must wear snowshoes for the outdoor parts.  Complete as many tasks on the list as possible in 30 minutes.  Student leaders will judge and a prize will be awarded to the group who completes the most!

  • Help at least one member put on snowshoes (more than one member may, but make sure there’s enough for other groups). Get any warm clothes your group members need.
  • Find a Pine Needle
  • Find a stick shaped like a Y
  • Walk the KYC trail
  • Take a “good photo” (Teen Council Judges and awards points!)
  • Take a photo of a bird
  • Take a photo of a maple tree
  • Take a photo of animal tracks; guess what animal made them
  • Find a rock shaped like the state of NH
  • Write down the mission of the KYC
  • Find a Pine Cone
  • Each group member hang two pieces in the KYC closet
  • You may NOT use any electronic device for this question. How far away is the moon?

This was a great way to enjoy time outside in the winter.  Thank you Teen Council for planning this activity.  The Teen Council will meet again today!
