EXTREME CHALLENGE

Information Sheet

 

Team Members

You must register as a parish. Parishes may enter as many as three teams into the challenge.  Each team may have an unlimited number of members, but only 6 members from the team may compete in an event at a time.   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.

Even if you don’t have six youth attend, your group can still come, and we can join you with another parish!

 

Banners & Shirts

Each team is encouraged to make and bring a banner that represents their group.  Banners will be hung on the wall during the event and may be made from 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 the best banner and T-shirt designs.

 

Events/Activities/Rules

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. 

 

Clothing

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. 

 

Scoring & Awards

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.

 

What to Bring

• Change of clothes (Just in case you get messy due to game play)                         
• Hat, Sunglasses, Sunscreen
• Towel (wipe off the sweat and any mess)                                                           

Food

Lunch will be provided but you may want to bring your own cooler for water, extra drinks and snacks for your youth throughout the day.  If you require special dietary needs, you are asked to bring them.  We are only able to provide a vegetarian option. 

Who must register?  All those attending must register for the event, including chaperones.  There will be a couple of events just for those who are kids at heart.
