The teams are allowed to switch out. Attention All adults, who attend should be open to be a part in an adult category for youth leaders/chaperones to participate in a few games.
Each team is encouraged to make and bring a banner that represents their group. Banners will be hung on the wall during the rally and may be made out of paper or other materials. A recommended size is 4 feet tall by 6 feet long. Each team is also encouraged to design a T-shirt for their team uniform. Awards will be given for best banner and T-shirt designs.
A complete list of events and rules will be sent to parishes upon registration. The events in the planning are various games, messy relays/challenges, cheer contest, prayer service and our famous Catholic trivia contest; The Lion’s Den.
Youth are asked to wear appropriate clothing throughout the day. No short-shorts, halter-tops or T-shirts with inappropriate advertising, sayings, or political references should be worn. Also please have your youth keep in mind that they may get messy so you may also want to wear something that can get dirty.
Although the Extreme Challenge Games main focus is fellowship, we will be giving awards. Teams will earn points based on several factors (i.e. best times, first to finish, teamwork, etc.) for each event. Ribbons will be awarded for certain events. At the end of the Extreme Challenge, points will be totaled to determine first, second and third places. Ribbons will be distributed at the Awards Ceremony.
Lunch will be provided but you may want to bring your own cooler for water, extra drinks and snacks for your youth. If you require special dietary needs, you are asked to bring them. We are only able to provide a vegetarian option.
