Viking Treasure Trek: The Quest Begins™

The Viking Treasure Trek: The Quest Begins module combines creative problem solving and logic as children follow the footsteps of ancient travelers. Children hear a mythical story of how the travelers, known for their outstanding seamanship, mysteriously hid vast amounts of gold, and it’s up to them to find the buried bounty! Throughout the week, children employ science, reason, and teamwork skills to find the long-lost treasure.


On Day One, children learn about the lives and voyages of the travelers and are challenged to solve the mystery of the lost treasure. They work in teams to solve and decipher the first in a week’s worth of clues, riddles, and challenges and build boats to carry them from Norway to Iceland and Greenland. During Day Two, teams sail the seas once again, this time traveling from Greenland to Newfoundland to solve a series of logic puzzles which will lead them closer to the treasure. On Day Three, children set sail for New England, where the treasure awaits them! Before claiming the fortune, teams must use compasses to find clues that will lead them to the treasure site. On Days Four and Five, children utilize teamwork and creative problem solving to finally uncover the long lost gold.
