The Eco Challenge started out at a fast and furious pace with tons of Oakley goggles, Eco-friendly outerwear from the GB collection and Steve Fisher’s bamboo pro model up for grabs!
The whole Eco Challenge Scavenger Hunt Group posing with ALEX and Gretchen!
The campers had to complete a 10 question scavenger hunt including tasks such as: find Gretchen and Steve at their favorite Gov’y spot, pick up 5 pieces of trash and think of 2 ways HCSC could become more environmentally friendly.
The Scavenger Hunt Questions. Don't worry, we kept things green by printing them on the back of scrap paper from our recycling bin!
In what seemed like no time at all the first two teams rolled in with the completed Eco Challenges!
The first team to come back got to Ro Sham Bo between and Oakley prize pack or Steve Fisher's Pro Model Board. Can you guess who won the board?
It was a close race! These ladies took second place by mere seconds, and each got to pick out a peice of eco-friendly outerwear from the GB collection.
After the Eco Challenge results were all tallied, the camper teams met back at the lodge to make a piece of artwork or fashion out of the trash they had collected and any other reused or reclaimed items they could find. The level of creative insight for the art projects was incredible and there was even more prizes on the line for Gretchen’s and Steve’s favorite picks.
The 3rd place team got extra points for picking up way more than the required 5 peices of trash to make their art project.
The second place team found Gretchen's soft spot when they incorporated both ALEX of alexbottle.com and high cascade!
Last but not least, these guys incorporated the marshmallow, high cascade, and a snowboard/collage to bring home the first place title. Congrats!

It was was fun, educational and generally awesome for everyone who was involved! I am looking forward to paging through all the Eco Challenges and put some of the ideas to work making my everyday life and high cascade more green! Check out more of the art projects below.
