Mayday @ Birch Bend Campground

This is a repeat of the scenario from last fall.

Can your team survive the Clever Coyote challenge? Participants will experience a simulated survival event where their wits and resourcefulness are put to the test. There is a new challenge each year.

Your airplane is malfunctioning and is unable to stay aloft. The pilot calls for mayday and the worst imaginable scenario happens – the flight crashes. You survive with a couple others. You're in unfamiliar territory and you've still got a job to do.

Open to adventurous youth involved with any Scouting program. Visit the Clever Coyote website for more about this event plus a lot of great videos to help you prepare for the challenges ahead.

Hosted at Birch Bend Campground just west of Lake Mille Lacs in central Minnesota – a short drive north of the Twin Cities.
