Treasure hunt for children and young adults with brain injuries

We will be holding the treasure hunt July 8th and then 9th for Camp TBI which is a camp for children and young adults with brain injuries.

I am doing a treasure hunt first with the counselors during training so that they can get oriented to the different places at camp. When they find a clue they will be given a little token that they have to bring back to the main office. When they have all of the clues they will be given a card from their main counselor that explains what each of the tokens are, for example, they will get a 'smartie' candy to let them know how smart they are. They will be given an eraser so that they know that everyone makes mistakes and it's okay. Anyway the theme of all the clues will be a 'counselor survivor kit'. The next day, the campers will do something very similar and the counselors will be giving the campers the survivor kits.

It will be held in GA, USA. I will have 70 counselors and 42 campers.

Age range of campers is 8-24

counselors 16-70.

I only glanced at the book and need to start working on it soon. I was excited to figure out how to incorporate it into our camp. Our theme this year for camp is Wild and Wacky sports so I will be changing the stations or ports to different places that have to do with sports, for example, one of the stations will be 'Green Ball Court' meaning that they have to first figure out that they have to go to the tennis courts. So they have two clues to figure out, one is where the station is, and then what the puzzle will be
