What is a Sharp Pokey? It's Pathfinder-speak for the tool used to roast marshmallows. And we're turning our love of s'mores and outdoor adventure into a fun, nature-based, family-focused fundraiser - the Quest for the Sharp Pokey!

Register your team and join us on April 22. Each team will work together to complete a variety of hands-on activities led by Pathfinder's awesome facilitators. Each activity completed earns your team a portion of the goodies you'll need to make yummy s'mores when the event culminates in a community bonfire. Your team registration (up to 6 people, ages 6 and up to be on the team) includes participation in the Quest as well as s'mores supplies for your entire team...and maybe a few extra surprises. We STRONGLY encourage names for your team and team costumes.

You don't need to be in a team to be a part of the fun! Purchase a general admission ticket (includes s'mores supplies for one person, ages 3 and up) and join us at the community bonfire.

There will be a hot chocolate bar and other beverages and treats for sale. We'll also have a raffle of some fabulous prizes.

Each year, Pathfinder has the pleasure of facilitating programs for over 6,000 participants. Our experiential educational programs are for students of all ages. All programs - regardless of age or ability of the participants, length of time, or location - are interactive and engaging with a non-competitive curriculum and include time for discussion and debrief to solidify lessons learned. Most programs take place outdoors, not only because it's more fun, but because we have found nature to be the best classroom.

Pathfinder Outdoor Education strives to open minds, promote self-awareness, and develop leadership. We welcome and encourage participants with a diversity of beliefs, abilities and life experiences. Through our programs we hope to encourage new ideas, develop critical thinking, and foster an awareness of how individual values and behaviors can impact yourself, others and the environment.

Quest for the Sharp Pokey!

S'mores, team-focused activities, a community bonfire - it's going to be a special event!
