The Somerset County Parks Department stages its own "amazing race" each August. The "Somerset County Caper" is a fun two day trek through the various county parks and recreation areas. Family teams compete in challenges, search for clues, and complete tasks - all while learning what our parks have to offer. Every team that completes all of the challenges by the Sunday afternoon deadline is in the running for some great prizes.
This past August was the first time our vacation schedule allowed us to join in the fun. We had such a good time, I think we will planour 2011 vacation around the Caper!
