Every summer, individuals and families
participate in the annual Venture Vermont Outdoor Challenge. Rather like a
state-wide outdoor scavenger hunt, participants complete a variety of outdoor
activities to earn points. Once a participant reaches 250 points, the prize is
a coin that offers free admission to any day-use state park, for all of the
current year and all of next.
This year, more than 175 people
participated from locations all across Vermont… and from a few other states
too. One great thing about Venture Vermont is that participants are able to
pick their own activities & go at their own pace. There is always something
new to learn! Activities for 2017 included taking a bird walk, trail-running, tying
knots, and going on a day-long adventure. Some challenges are park-based, but
most can be completed anywhere, on vacation or in your backyard.
Thanks to everyone who participated. We hope to see you all again
in 2018, for a new year of Venture Vermont with brand new challenges. Here are
some photos from this year’s participants, to inspire you for next year.
Happy Venturing!
