Lock-in & Unplug All-Nighter

** Thanks to everyone for making the Lock-in so much fun! We'll be posting pictures on Facebook soon **

7pm Friday, August 24 to 8am Saturday, August 25

Take our overnight eco challenge this summer! Unplug and participate in Earth-friendly activities like a scavenger hunt, upcycled crafting, and beginner bike mechanics! 13 hours without a status update...can you do it?

Here's what's happening...

Check in @ 7pm followed by a Welcome & Orientation

Team Scavenger Hunt @ 8.30pm

9.30-10.30pm it's workshop time! You choose one of these:

Alternate Transportation / All About Cycling

From recreation cycling (road or mountain bikes) to commuting to school or work, learn all you need to know about biking around Burlington: beginner mechanic tips, road etiquette and safety, what to look for in a bike and gear, maps of local cycling roads.

GoLocal / Make Your Own Smoothie

Learn about the BurlingtonGreen Local food network. Find out who is producing locally and what is produced, how to make your own smoothie from fresh summer fruit.

Recycled Craft / Upcycled Bird Feeder

Create a bird feeder from found materials while you hear about local ecosystems and upcycling.

After snacks at 10.30pm, there's a bunch of fun stuff to fill the rest of your hours:

• games
• an eco film
• reading
• board games
• Operation Knit Bomb
• more crafts
• sleep (for those who choose) in designated rooms

Breakfast is served up at 7am and by 8am you're on your way home (and probably to sleep!)

Open to adventerous teens ages 14-18 (or entering grade 9 in September 2012).
