Rock-climbing Site

As you paddle along the coastline and around islands, you'll see a rock-climbing site from time to time.

Click on the Rock cliff to go rock-climbing.

Go rock-climbing?

Your teammates will have opinions about rock-climbing and they will have an opinion about each choice. For the tour, regardless of what your teammates think, check "Let's Climb." and then click the "Our Decision" button.

Climb

Climb the rock face using the moves at the bottom of the panel. Combine these moves to scale the rock face before your stamina runs out. Once you make it to the top or run out of steam, you'll head back to your kayak.

Camp sites

Along the coasts and on islands, you will see a campsite from time to time. They are all named and identified on the map. Click on the fire ring to stop and camp for the day.

Make Camp?

Your teammates will each have an opinion about camping and they will have an opinion about each choice. If you agree with what your teammates think, check "Let's camp." Then, click the "Our Decision" button.

Camp Duties

You have to decide who does what at the campsite. You will also have to decide what to eat for dinner and what to eat for breakfast. Go through those decisions and then break camp and head out onto the water again.

History Sleuth

Check "Let's check it out." and then click the "Our Decision" button. Try to identify three different artifacts. You can head back to the water anytime by clicking the small "X" button in the upper right corner of the History Sleuth panel.

History Identification

Look at the photo at the right and the choices on the left. Read your teammates comments carefully. If your teammate's favorite activity is "Historic Site Exploring," they might be able to help identify strange objects.

Fish

When you're out in the water, you will see a fish jump out of the water from time to time. There's a fishing spot! Click on the fish.

Fish ID

Check "Let's fish!" and then click the "Our Decision" button. Try to identify three different fish. You can head back to the water anytime by clicking the small "X" button in the upper right corner of the Wildlife Sleuth panel.

Reading

From time to time, you'll be asked to answer some questions from the Kayak Handbook or from the Wildlife Identification Book. Correct answers earn you bonus points towards your Kayak Certification.

Rescue

After you've been out on the water, click on the radio that's in the left panel. Then, click on the "Rescue" button. You'll get a rescue decision point. Check off "End our trek" and click the "Our Decision" button.

This Trek Is Over

Because of hunger, mood, fatigue, or injury, one of your teammates may decide to quit the trek and call a rescue. In that case, your only choice is to accept that one teammate has decided to quit the trek and call a rescue.

Conclusion

After a short movie of the rescue, you'll see a report from your teammates of how well they think you did. If you made it to the TeamTreks cabin, and made good decisions that kept your teammates happy, you might earn a Kayak Certificate.
