Upon their arrival on the center our campers will be given a special map found in a bottle on the beach, map which was drawn several centuries ago by the famous pirate Rackam-le-Rouge. This will be the beginning of our Adventure:Campers will be divided into 8 teams (crews) and as they explore the area surrounding the village, they will have to uncover clues that will lead them to the lost treasure of Rackam-le-Rouge!
