Our program What is a Quest?Turn a walk into a treasure hunt while exploring the outdoors! On the South Shore of Boston there are many outdoor treasure hunts for families and small groups to enjoy. Each quest brings you to an outdoor trail where you can enjoy nature while looking for clues. Quests start at a marked beginning point and include several clues hidden along the way. The last clue of each quest is a box containing a small guest book, a stamp pad, a rubber stamp, and answers to questions asked by curious "Questers". Once the box is found, participants stamp the back page of their Quest book (as proof of accomplishment), and may write or stamp in the guest book. Each spring volunteers place the clues and boxes along the trails where they remain until late fall. Please let us know if a clue is missing by sending an email to admin@southshorequests.org. |
