TEA BOILING

Teams will compete in a timing event that will determine who will be the fastest in creating a fire pit, starting a fire and tea boiling.

TWO PERSON CROSS CUT SAWING

Once again teams will go head-to-head in determining who is the fastest in cutting cookies. A very popular event that will bring a lot of excitement to the games.

Resembling a snake as it slides down the track is the next competition. This event will have a different twist in that it will be the first of two Captain’s Challenges. The Captains will go head-to-head in earning points to win the infamous Snow Snake challenge. Distance as well as hitting the bullseye will determine winners for this event.

LOG TOSS

One of the traditional lumber jack games where competitors toss logs into a specified area. Strength and accuracy will determine the winner of this game.

Speed, team work and do not drop the baton or your team will be eliminated. Teams will compete in determining who can complete each heat and go to compete the Snow Shoe Relay finale. Fun guaranteed!
