šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļøšŸ¦œ CAPTAIN KIDD'S SCAVENGER HUNT šŸ¦œšŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø


Will You and Your CREW Find the Notorious Captain Kidd's Treasure?
Read on for all the details!


Ahoy Mateys!

While evaluating progress at our new Chelsea Boat Ramp and Docks, Town Supervisor Cavaccini and his team stumbled upon a treasure marker hidden in the sea wall, uncovered a hidden treasure chest filled with all sorts of goods and old papers. After sorting through the items, he was able to make out what sounded like a rhyme and looked like a map of Wappinger..

Legend has it that the notorious Captain Kidd buried a glittering hoard of treasure somewhere right here in town. And now, after centuries of silence, the map has resurfaced....

But beware, mateys! This treasure won't just be handed over. You and your clever crew must follow riddles and navigate your way through these clues across town—using wit, teamwork, and just a pinch of caffeine-fueled creativity.

There will be laughs, there may be groans, and there’s a high chance of spontaneous ā€œArrrā€s. But one thing’s certain: adventure awaits, and the race for Captain Kidd’s treasure is about to begin!

So gather your tiny deckhands, check that your strollers have all-terrain wheels, and let’s make some unforgettable memories. The treasure’s out there—and it’s calling your name!
