The
Spook-O-Ree is a family Halloween event for everyone! Every year,
the Spook-O-Ree grows and grows as we add new activities, more scares,
and more fun. Join the thousands of families that will venture out to
Cub World and enjoy Halloween in a safe, family-friendly environment at
a cost that fits just about any budget.
New for 2009:
Challenge
yourself to the newest addition to the Spook-O-Ree - a crazy
maze
wandering through walls of straw bails. Can you find the end and
ring the bell inside? Great for all ages and a fun family activity, the
Straw Maze is sure to become this year's biggest hit.
The Straw Maze is open all night long and one run through the maze is
included with the price of admission.
|
The
Cub World nature trail is usually a quiet and beautiful walk through
the woods. But during Halloween, the ghosts and creepy things that
haunt the Little Miami River come out to play! Venture into the woods
and get a scare, led by one of the Spook-O-Ree staff.
Groups
will be leaving to walk the trail regularly throughout the night and
the trail can be visited an unlimited number of times. Keep
in mind that the haunted trail might be a little too intense for the
younger ones!
|
Everyone
is invited to wear their best Halloween costume (adults
too!). During the event, contestants can stop by the booth at
the
midway. At 9pm, the costume contest winners will be announced at the
ampitheater.
Prizes will be given to everyone participating in the contest,
and the winner will be given a special prize. So make your
favorite costume and get into character!
|
The
Cub World castle is being haunted by ghouls and goblins.
Do
you dare adventure in to see the spooky scenes awaiting you? The
haunted castle will be open after dark and running continously through
the evening. This activity is only recommended for older children and
those daring souls that can take a scare or two.
One visit to the Haunted Castle is included in the price of admission.
|
Looking
for a
safe and fun way to go trick-or-treating? Visit the Cub
World Fort, where kids can go door to door and fill up their
sacks with some tasty treats (or maybe a trick or two). This is the
perfect way to bring your kids trick-or-treating without worrying about
traffic or other dangers. Behind each door will be a camp staffer in
costume with plenty of candy to share. And this year we have
everyone's favorite -- chocolate!
One round of trick-or-treating is included
in the price of admission.
|
Time
to have
some Halloween fun! Try your hand at the many themed games
on the Spook-o-ree midway. Participants of these games of skill and
chance will receive special tokens redeemable for prizes at the Prize
booth, with extra
tokens going to the winners. This year we will have more
games,
new games, and the whole game area will be well lit.
Tickets will be sold for participation in
games and 10 tickets are included with the price of admission.
Additional tickets are 25 cents each.
|
Take an adventurous hayride through some of the less visited areas of
camp! See the camp staff in
costumes putting on some magical (and spooky!) Halloween scenes. The
hayride will last about 20 minutes and will run continuously
during the evening. This year we will have more hay wagons,
shorter lines, and more fun!
The Halloween Hayride is included in the price of admission and can be
visited an unlimited number of times. Recommended for all ages.
|
Do
you like stories? Take a rest around the campfire as our
storyteller spins his yarns and tells some tall tales that are sure to
get you in the Halloween spirit. He comes from far away and
travels wide and far to share his stories of wonder and fantasy with
the world.
All of the stories will be suitable for all ages of children, and
stories will begin at regular intervals. You won't want to miss this
memorable part of the event.
|
Come
enjoy your favorite Halloween treats.Vampire ears (caramel apples),
popcorn,
spider webs (cotton candy), hot dogs, chips, and more will be available
at the concession stand! Hot
chocolate, hot apple cider, coffee, and soft drinks will also be
available.
Snacks and beverages at the concession stand can be purchased with
tickets.

Attention
Boy Scouts,
Venturers, and leaders!
It takes a lot of volunteer staff to make the
Spook-O-Ree happen, and we need your help. Staff are needed on both
Saturdays, from 2pm to 10pm. This is an easy and fun event to staff,
with no preperation on your part (except perhaps getting your awesome
costume ready).
If you or your unit are interested
in helping, please let use know!
