Once again the Somerset County park Commission Environmental Education Center is offering two County Caper events. The one-day family event will be on Sunday, August 23, 2015. Returning for 2015 is an adult only (15 years old and up) adventure called The County Caper Accelerated! This one day adult event will occur on Saturday, August 22, 2015.

The County Caper is a one-day game that takes families and friends on an interactive tour of Somerset County Parks and facilities. This local version of “The Amazing Race” will take teams to various destinations within Somerset County. Once they arrive they need to perform tasks, find clues or gather information. Each team will be given a journal to collect stamps and/or record their findings. Bring your camera!

The County Caper Accelerated! is a one day game that takes adults on an interactive tour of Somerset County Parks and facilities as well. Participants will be physically and mentally challenged while completing fun tasks and finding hidden clues throughout the day as their team races against the clock.

Participants will discover all Somerset County has to offer. Registration required for this free event. Please visit www.somersetcountyparks.org or call 908-766-2489.

Start your engines! Remember, it’s not just a game . . . it’s an adventure! Are you ready for the challenge?

The County Caper is designed to encourage everyone to explore, learn and protect our parks and other natural areas. Both events are rain or shine.
