The Adventure Challenge
(For Groups of 50-200; Ages 13+)
Want to get a sampling of what Kern has to offer? Bring your brawn and your wits and join us for a race across camp! The Adventure Challenge allows groups to break up into small teams to conquer challenges spread across camp. Each team will receive a map and all of the supplies necessary to successfully complete challenges. Each conquered challenge will earn the team points, and the group with the most points will be declared the winner. Some challenges require mental strength while others require physical strength. This activity provides a great opportunity to encourage and promote leadership, communication, teamwork, personal growth, and camaraderie for any organization. It is a favorite of corporate groups, school groups, and athletic teams. Group size can greatly vary with this activity.
