Family Scavenger Hunt

FAMILY SCAVENGER HUNT APRIL 1st-30th

Join Yo-Yo the Yeti and Compete For Awesome Prizes

From April 1 through April 30, individuals and families are invited to participate in a virtual family scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt will take place via a virtual scoring system that families can take with them on their phones to the contributing parks to complete tasks such as finding landmarks within the park, completing activities, answering questions, taking photos of wildlife, and so much more.

GET OUTDOORS TOGETHER

Families can complete one park for fun or attempt to complete them all for a chance to win the ultimate prize pack including a free one-year family membership to any YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh location, a free week for a child at a YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh Day Camp, one free fall Guides and Princesses Campout for a father and son or father and daughter, pool passes from the parks and other YMCA merchandise. Other chances for bonus points and prizes will be offered as well.

HOW IT WORKS:

Beginning April 1st, your family will have the opportunity to start your scavenger hunt by logging in to our gameplay database and heading out to one of the participating parks. Tasks will be completed at each park location including finding historical landmarks at each park, learning about wildlife, completing activities, and uploading photos of your discoveries. The more park activities you complete the better your chances are of winning! A live scoreboard will be able to be followed along right here on this page. Bonus Points - Starting April 1st at each YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh location, you will be able to pick up your Yo-Yo Yeti Game Pack with extra worksheets, coloring sheets, and ciphers to complete for bonus points! Just visit the Welcome Center between April 1st-30th for your Game Pack!
