The fourth annual Camp Counselors Challenge was held on Sat. June 30 at the Bensenville Park District.  The weather cooperated very well for the six teams that showed their team spirit as they competed in various challenges.  In addition, participants were allowed to be creative and learn both safety and team-building skills. 

There were six teams that participated in this year’s event:

• Gurnee  Plaid Z the Bone 
• Wooddale Shockers 
• Roselle Code Red 
• Morton Grove Team Mor Gro 
• Elk Grove Voyoger 
• Crystal Lake B Novak 

The teams participated in six challenges:

• Obstacle Course
• Fill the Back Pack
• Subjective Art
• First Aid Tic-Tac-Toe w/PDRMA
• Dodgeball
• Creative Song (at the end as a tie breaker)

Congratulations to the winning teams!  Gurnee finished first, Crystal Lake and Wooddale tied for second, and Roselle won the spirit award. 

First and second place winners won backpacks donated by PDRMA that were filled with gift cards and other giveaways donated by various districts.  Thank you to the Crystal Lake Park District, River Trails Park District and the Oswegoland Park District for the donations. 

We hope see more Districts out next year for our 5th Camp Counselor’s Challenge.
