Going to tell friends about the Treasure Hunt site

Nikki,

You can bet I?m going to tell all my friends about your sites. Your service and response is outstanding and I?m sure your products will be as well. If you have any more sites (I?ve seen scavenger, treasure and instant treasure hunts) could you please send me all the links to all your sites? I will be sure to pass them along to my friends.

I?ll let you know how the party goes it?s in February.

THANKS again.

Gospel Summer Camp has treasure hunts for kids galore!

Dear Nikki:

I've downloaded the planner and at first glance, it looks like there are lots of ideas that will work for our event after I tailor them to our needs.

Every July our church puts on a camp called, 'Summer Hummer'. Ages 4- 5 stay only half a day, and each day I need to develop a new treasure hunt because the same children repeat the activities every day.

Ages 6 to 14 stay all day and the treasure hunt will be an activity the age groups participate in once. The groups are divided up, such as: ages 6-7 is one group, ages 8-9 is another, etc. All together there will be close to 900 kids! Wow, that takes my breath away. It's really a blast, kids have a ball and so do the counselors. About 300 counselors participate. There's craft people, snack people, story tellers, water slides, zip lines, luge racers, all sorts of field games: soccer, races, etc.

A theme is established by a company called Gospel Lights where we purchase the course. This year's course is 'Sonforce Kids'. During the week we emphasize a different element of the course. Monday is Trust, based on Exodus 1-2:10: Moses: Boy in a basket.

Tuesday is Unite, based on Esther 2-8: Esther: Queen at risk. Wednesday is Train, based on Daniel 1: Daniel: Servant of God. Thursday is Follow, based on Jeremiah 36-39: Jeremiah: Prophet in trouble. Friday is Lead, based on Numbers 13-14:9: Joshua: Spy in a strange land.

The setting is on a space station full of adventure and high drama leading the children to make good decisions based on the day's Bible stories. I'm going to attempt to fashion clues and puzzles with a space theme.

I'll have some help during the treasure hunt itself, but it will be up to me to figure out all the details and logistics of the hunt. It should be great! Thanks for all you do, you've given me some confidence and the beginning of some ideas to pull this off. I'll keep you posted.

Regards,

Already setting up the treasure hunt

Yes, I'm working on setting up the Treasure Hunt. Have read it through twice and am making lists of things to do and items to buy, and understanding how to begin the game and follow through.

The party will be in Fairview Park (a suburb of Cleveland), Ohio, on Saturday, December 9, 2006 in my home.

The special occasion is the 43rd Annual Donahue Family Party- for immediate family only: parent, 5 children, spouses, and grandchildren. There will be a total of 22 people. The age range is 10 years to 70. There are 7 teenagers, 12 adults, 3 children. The theme of the party is 'Memories.' The theme will be played out with old photos, funny family experiences, music and penny candy from the eras of the attendees.

The party consists of cocktails and appetizers, followed by games, dinner, gifts, more games, and sometimes entertainment. Last year we had a juggler/magician. This year I think the Treasure Hunt, Mystery game, and a couple of other games will be enough.

I am still working on clues and challenges. I think I understand how the game works but will email you if I have a problem. Sounds like it will be fun.

Thank you for your email

Treasure buried in the sands

Nikki

I am actually planning this Treasure Hunt for my boss's children and cousins.

They will be doing this in Maui at a hotel I have never been to. My boss wants to have the treasure chest buried outside in the sand.
