Camp Summersault 2008: A Back-to-School Scavenger Hunt

Sponsored by the Bossier Parish Libraries' Information Technology Department, CAMP SUMMERSAULT is a two-week long, system-wide SCAVENGER HUNT open to kids who attend school in Bossier Parish, have active and valid BPL library cards, and are middle schook, high school or home-schooled students.

Purpose:
To help kids get ready for going back to school by providing them with resources that help them remember as well as learn new ways to search for information at the library. The name, CAMP SUMMERSAULT, is derived from the fact that kids will soon be somersaulting from their summer vacations back into school in just a few short weeks.

How It Works:
CAMP SUMMERSAULT will start on Friday, August 1st and ends on Thursday, August 14th.

The scavenger hunt will involve kids selecting one exercise from each available "hunt category", completing that exercise and turning in their answers.

One winner from each grade group (e.g., middle school, high school, homeschool) will be selected at each branch on Friday, August 15th.

From that pool of winners, THREE (3) OVERALL GRAND PRIZE WINNERS will be selected and they will each win a backpack of school supplies.
