Treasure Hunt
(Kids club ), (13/06/2004)

Sunday 13th of June we had the treasure hunt for the Kids Club, the turn-out was good. We assembled at The Heul and after putting a few handstands and pulling down a pole we headed for the playground where the start of the treasure hunt was.

We had some late arrivals, but they were allowed to go on the bike. They had just left to start the hunt when the first two already arrived back.

After a little search party for the Dordrecht group, yes, Gorinchem is a big city, so you can get lost, they finally all arrived back.

The kids all got a drink and party bag and played in the playground while there was a surprise for the adults: THE QUIZ.

One of the girls won the treasure hunt with only one answer wrong. Most of the children had 2 wrong, there was a little trick question hidden.
