Session 2: The Great Dino Hunt

So, predictably, our guest Paleontologist Cornelius Von Fossil turned out to be a bit of a mad scientist as well. Equally as predictably, his recreated genetic Dinosaur experiments escaped and hid all over Camp. (*A note. Dr. Von Fossil doesn't seem to be a particularly good scientist, so his genetic experiments look less like Dinos and more like Counselors wearing ridiculous things. Just a heads up.)

But as bad of a mad scientist as Von Fossil is, it turns out he's an even worse Dinosaur hunter and can't find his creations for the life of him. (Honestly, I don't even know why we brought this guy in. He was nothing but trouble.) FORTUNATELY, our campers were on hand to form squads, and mobilize search parties to find these missing creatures in our Wednesday Evening Dino Hunt. Funny how that all worked out.

Von Fossil breaks the news to the Camp that the dinos have escaped.

Some didn't make it very far.

The parent Dinos are introduced, because it's their various babies who are missing!

An experiment gone terrible awry. 

Latest research shows that dinosaurs were most likely feathered.

Genetic Experiments gone wrong can get a litlle feisty.

The Camp listens carefully to gain all the possible Dino-gathering tips.

Paleontologist by day, mad genetic scientist by night. Yeah. He doesn't look that stable.

Camp assembles into their Dino hunting squads, and get ready to make their Dino Hunting faces. What are dino hunting faces?

These. These are Dino Hunting faces.

Proper strategy is crucial.

Hey guys! Did any one think to check the bushes?

Cause I found one in the bushes! Always check the bushes.

Yup, toward the bushes. Look toward the bushes! Always a good idea.

On the move.

Good work team, got him!  (Hint: Look in the back. He's the guy with the three horns.)

Yup. This is what dinosaurs looked like.

More success!

Leave no stone un-turned!

Dinosaurs are hiding everywhere!

Taking flight.

OH NO! Now that we've found all the babies, the parents have escaped. Why can nothing ever be easy at Camp?

How will we find the parents? The baby dinos give clues. Round II: Dino SCAVENGER Hunt.

Off we go again.

The baby dinosaurs aren't very good at giving the clues to find their parents. (The activity has to last all evening, after all.)

Nope. Don't think they're hiding  THIS way.

Reunited!

The whole family is back together!

However, just when we had finally found all the Dinos...

Chaos ensues! And Von Fossil makes off with four valuable dinosaur eggs our campers found!

Duhn-duhn-DUHN! What will happen next! Tune in for the thrilling conclusion of Jurassic Week. (Curious. Who knew Dinosaur eggs looked so much like cantaloupes.)

NEXT TIME: Like we said. The thrilling conclusion to Session #2.
