 ==History==
-Mike Stewart introduced the Adventure Race at Shehaqua Family Camp Week 2 in 2015 and it has been held during Week 1 since then. The race is based on the Tough Mudder and similar challenging obstacle courses. It’s a race for individuals, but it can also be done as a team competition. Primarily aimed at Supernovas and Quasars, it can also be offered to Suns and even Moons who are excited about it. Check out the videos of previous races on our Shehaqua YouTube channel for some idea of what the race looks like.
