Risk
The classic game of world domination. 6 published caches will be
released on Saturday morning and within will be the 42 countries of
the Risk world. Up to 6 teams (may be randomly combined if more
than 6 wish to participate) will compete by finding the caches,
retrieving a country from each and then playing out the game back
at the camp on a computer (takes too long with dice). Prizes will
be awarded to the last three teams to stave off elimination, with
the grand prize to the one responsible for world domination.
Get Bear Smart Geocaching
Challenge
Have fun learning about bears and bear safety by taking part in the
“Get Bear Smart” Geocaching Challenge. Collect a Bear Smart card at
each of the hidden cache locations and then take part in our
Challenge. An exciting board game where you become the game pieces.

first to complete our Challenge and win a prize!!
