Photo Scavenger Hunt!!

Yesterday we had an "off" afternoon. We might have had the most fun of camp though.

Photo scavenger hunt was the assignment. On this post you will see some of the highlight reel--don't forget to watch the video clips at the bottom. "Choreographed dance skit with a stranger."

The team was split up into groups of two or three and given one hour to chase down as many of 51 written clues as possible. Energy was high and all had a ball--including the coaches who were in stitches searching through cameras and judging the final score.

Team scores:
1. Elena and Alec--"Team Homebrew" 57pts.
2. Kaitlin and Hans--"UltraTeam" 53pts.
2. Antoine, Kristin and Devlin--"A trois" 53pts.
4. David and Hans--"Rocky" 49pts.
5. Dani and Dan--"Danimal" 48pts.
6. Ryley and Emily--"Team Wildcat" 47pts.

The top picture is Heidi taking home the top honors for: "Photo with and Aussie."
Emily taking a close second with an Aussie outside the weight room.
A nice group shot. Aussie #3.
Hans is happy for Aussies in purple. + for the energy.
Alec McGovern. "Photo with Canadian." Top Honors!
Alec earned a plus in this category. With Blake behind the Pinnacles front desk.
Another congenial group shot. Here with the Canadian owner of the youth hostel.
Oh hi Kaitlin. Half nordi/half tele skier--all Canadian. Honorable mention.
"Canadian Holding Money." Top prize. No questions. Great attitude!
A close second. Money in the bank...
From the coffee shop. Bronze.
Soldiers, coins and a football. Honorable mention.
"Handstand against a bathroom door." Kristin showing great form.
Ryley in second.
"Uni suit." 3 bonus points for a GMVS'er in the suit. The two captains in the same picture, both in unis--priceless! Walk away first place.
Dan Moore in a artistic second.
Ryley -- the play is OVER!! But, good enough for third.
"Helmet."
"GMVS student on a fire hydrant." Clearly Heidi misses Lars and Tanner...top honor.
Who says our Yoga practice isn't working.
Dev having a blast.
Two thumbs up. "NEON." And a smile, and a school hat. Great composition. First Place.
The colors are unbeatable. Kristin in a close second.
Hot, hot, hot. 3rd place.

"Windbriefs...on the Outside." Heidi having fun and taking the honors.
Once again...Hans, the play is over.
"Employee with name tag." Emily getting in the mix for a strong pic.
"Cone in the Air" Who is it?
