Thank you for registering a team for the upcoming Ultimate Outdoor Challenge to be held at Gardner Camp on May 4, 2024.
The Challenge is open to boys, girls, or co-ed teams in grades 7 through 12 who attend a school within the Gardner Camp service area. The service area contains the following counties: Adams, Pike, Hancock, Schuyler, Brown, Scott, Greene, Morgan, and Calhoun in Illinois and Marion, Lewis, Ralls, and Pike in Missouri.
Teams are taken on a first come, first serve basis. There is a limit of two teams per school. If more than two are interested, the third and any subsequent teams will be placed on a waitlist in case of a cancelation. All team members must be enrolled in the school for which they are competing. An adult coach (at least 21 years of age) must register with the team. There is no entry fee. (NOTE: In the event that you are in a rural school who combines sports programs, contact us to work through the school enrollment issue.)
Teams choose one competitor to represent them in each of the following challenges: 3D Archery Shoot, .22 Rifle Shoot, and Trap Shoot. All team members will participate in the Kayak Relay.
Team members must be able to perform skills prior to the event. Teams are asked to provide their own archery equipment (compound bows and arrows,) .22 long rifles- no scopes, and shotguns for trap shoot. Kayaks are provided. NOTE: If a team member is unable to provide his/her equipment, please contact us and we will assist in providing the needed equipment for the day.
We are aware that activity schedules may be unknown at this time for May 4th. Individuals may be substituted should team members have a conflict.
Registration will end on April 15th, 2024 or when team limit is reached.
