Ready, Set, Explore! The Scavenger Hunt That Tricked My Kids Into Learning Outdoors
Want to sneak education into your kid’s summer without a single worksheet? Meet Ready, Set, Explore! Scavenger Hunt — the mobile-based park adventure designed just for kids (and tired parents who need to burn off the 47th popsicle sugar rush).
From birdwatching at Wildwood Park to spotting woodpecker holes in Detweiler, this scavenger hunt challenges kids to explore real parks, look for cool natural features, and log their progress right from your phone. All that curiosity = points. And those points = actual prizes. Bonus: they won’t even realize it’s educational.
Getting started is easier than convincing your toddler to put on shoes:
- Sign up online
- Get your passport texted/emailed to your phone
- Turn on GPS, check in at participating parks, and rack up those prize points!
🚨 Pro Tip: Points reset July 1, so finish that hunt now or start fresh for round two. Either way, prizes are waiting for explorers who complete the challenge. Just don’t tell the kids it’s learning. We like to keep the mystery alive.
