Of all the things I have stumbled upon while living in Vermont; the Venture Vermont challenge through Vermont State Parks has been one of the best. From April to October you have a score card in which you rack up points doing various tasks, from fishing to camping and everywhere in between. As long as you are outdoors exploring your world, it is probably on the score card. In a week and a half we already have 40 of the 250 points needed. And what, might you ask, are the points for? When you have taken pictures of activities and mailed in the CD, you receive a state parks pass for the remainder of this year and all of next. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the parks and have fun doing it, and once you have completed the first year it is free to get in the parks and do it all over again.
Here are some of the things we have done so far:
Climbed a rock.
Made a list of the things we hear around us.
Found a spotted salamander.
That's a great idea and looks like Levi had great fun doing it.
