The Tri-Wilderness Tournament

Join us in the Tri-Wilderness Tournament for fun, prizes, and skills! All participants will be working on their own for some challenges, and also on a team for other challenges. The first challenge will be a fire building round, different fire challenges will be presented to the teams in order to test their skills and make them think outside the box. The second challenge will be a team shelter building competition where teams must race to build a waterproof shelter. The third and final challenge will be a fishing contest. Prizes will be awarded to who catches the most fish, the biggest fish, and the most species of fish.

There will be three teams, blue, red, and green. Each team will be equally divided into ages and experience levels. No experience is necessary to join, as students will learn a lot of skills during this tournament.
