Are You Ready for Adventure? Venture Vermont 2012 is Here!

By -
It's that time of year again and Venture Vermont is back! That means it's time to get ready for exciting adventures in Vermont State Parks this year. This year's Venture Vermont Outdoor Challenge just started on April 1st and the challenges are better than ever this year!

This popular statewide scavenger hunt invites participants to download a score sheet and complete fun outdoor activities. You take photographs of your activities to keep track of what you've done.

When you reach 250 points, all you have to do is send us your score sheet along with your photos and you will receive a VIP Gold Coin, good for free park entry for the rest of 2011 and all of 2012!

You will also have the chance to tackle some weekly bonus challenges that you can add to your scorecard, these will be posted on the Venture Vermont Page instead of Facebook this year. Check back often so you don't miss the bonus challenges as they change weekly!

With challenges such as paddle a boat on a river or stream, build a shelter with natural objects for one or more people, have a tent setting up race, and go fishing, you are guaranteed to have fun in the parks this year!


There are three main rules to the challenge:
1. Fill out one score card per person


2. Take photos of all your activities


3. Have a blast!


If you would like to do the challenge as a family, each family member needs their own score sheet, but you can take group photos. The Venture Vermont page has all the info! We are looking forward to the challenge this year and can't wait to see all the fun you're having!

    Excited to do this. My son just turned 4 and loves all things outdoors! Wanted to ask also, is there a place online to get more information about the Junior Park Ranger program? I think he's old enough to try it this year. Thanks!!
