Treasure Hunt

Basic premise: Teams race to fill their treasure box with jewels. At the end of the two hours, the team with the most jewels wins, 2nd highest gets 2nd, etc.

Beginning:

  • Girls split into teams of approx. 10 girls of same camp year with at least one ward-level YCL (try to mix wards.) We will use Uno decks to divide each year into teams.
  • Teams are given a strip of cloth to wear to identify themselves.
  • All 19 stations are running for the full two hours, staffed by stake-level YCLs & a ward YW leader.
  • Teams will be given a map marking all 19 station locations.
  • Teams will get two hours to collect the most jewels. Jewels will be given by stake-level YCLs upon completion of their game.
  • Two teams may go to the same station at the same time, but the first team that has all members present will get to play first – the second team will have to wait or can go to another station.
  • Teams can only go to each station one time during the game.
