Looking for a thrill this summer? A family activity? Join us for the thrill of a scavenger hunt that will have you and your family discovering our community while having fun quality time together.

The Hunt Begins

Scavenger Hunt Task List emailed Monday, June 14 Collect as many items from the Scavenger Hunt Task List as your family can and put them in a “Treasure Chest.” Be creative—items on the list can be bought, created or found. Label each item with the number that corresponds to the task. Each item collected for the Scavenger Hunt is worth a point. Ahoy! The Treasure Chest

Create a memorable treasure chest out of a shoebox. Your family will receive up to 25 points for the decoration/creativity of the chest. Submit your treasure chest and items labeled with their corresponding number on the list. The earlier the chest is submitted the more points you will receive. Please do not submit anything valuable. Items in your family’s chest will not be returned.

SUMMER OUTDOOR MOVIE SERIES

Be our guest for a family movie experience. Enjoy quality family time with a movie shown on a video display similar to American Family Field’s scoreboard (just on a smaller scale). The movie will start promptly at 7pm (the sun is not an issue for the display). Arrive early to save your seats and enjoy some play time with Operation Recreation. Please contact Amanda Schwichtenberg at 414-604-4963 a week prior to the movie date to discover the movie title for the evening. Feel free to bring blankets and lawn chairs. Enjoy an evening under the stars with family. Social distancing rules will be followed during the event.
