"Armed Squirrels" are among the easier items to find in the Week 11 Hunt.
With the large number of campers and great weather this year, Run Camp organizers felt confident that the second leg of the camp's annual three-part Scavenger Hunt would be especially successful, and they couldn't have been more pleased.
Each year, campers are divided into threes and asked to participate in the hunts during Weeks 10, 11 and 12. During Week 10, informally known as the "Presidents' Run," campers compete to visually capture the most presidential-reference sightings -- white houses, bushes, Fords, Hardings Markets, etc.
Week 11 at the Kal-Haven Trail has more nature themes for the collections -- exotic and armed animals, for instance -- but there's also a variety of prizes that result from the actions of careless and forgetful humans. Campers usually find several lost Detroit Tiger key chains, high-heeled dress shoes, feather dusters and cocoa butter containers (which must be at least half-full to not be considered "trash," unacceptable on all of Run Camp's Scavenger Hunts).
The Week 12 Scavenger Hunt, for the final one-third of campers, is specific in content requirements, but more conventional, as the winning team contestants typically spend hours knocking on doors in East Side neighborhoods, asking for items. The only items being collected during Week 12 this year are pre-1990 Batman comic books.
Enjoy!
