This year the Environmental Education Center at 190 Lord Stirling Road in Basking Ridge is offering two "County Caper" events–a two-day family event and a one-day adult event.
The two-day family event Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday, Aug. 28 is a game that takes families and friends on an interactive tour of Somerset County’s Parks and facilities. This local version of “The Amazing Race” will take teams to various destinations within Somerset County.

Returning for 2011 is an adult only (15 years old and up) adventure called “The County Caper Accelerated!” This one-day adult event will occur on Saturday, Aug. 27 and will take adults on an interactive tour of Somerset County Parks and facilities as well. Participants will be physically and mentally challenged while completing fun tasks and finding hidden clues throughout the day as teams race against the clock.
To participate and discover all Somerset County has to offer, register for the free event at www.somersetcountyparks.org or call 908-766-2489.
"The County Caper" is designed to encourage everyone to explore, learn and protect our parks and other natural areas. Both events will be held rain or shine.
