On the day of the event, au pairs are asked to come to the Art Museum to register by 12:30 and assemble their teams. If you can gather a team of 6 au pairs before the day--GREAT. If not, we can find you one on the day of the event. Au pairs will be given T- shirts which they MUST wear to particpate in the Race as well as a team number.
Each team will receive an Amazing Race survival bag which will include most of the things needed for the race; however, we advise au pairs to bring the following to assist them in their goal to be first over the finish line
Au pair teams will need:
Pen
Watch
Rain gear and or sunscreen
Comfortable clothing and footwear - sneakers preferable
Au pairs are advised to bring snacks or water for the duration of the race. Eating lunch before the event is advised.
Money for incidentals , food or souvenir's etc
AU PAIRS WILL NOT NEED:
Maps
Philadelphia guide book
STARTING DETAILS:
The Race will be started by Cultural Care's very own Senior Vice President Natalie Jordan SHARPLY at 1pm. There are 5 check points needed to complete the race, which are located throughout the city.
Like the TV show, there will be Detours and Road Blocks that will make the race fun and challenging for all.
Be prepared to do physical challenges, eating challenges, performance challenges and more to get ahead and be the first team to the finish line.
There will be individual checkpoint winners but the Grand Prize of the FREE TRIP TO NY is for the first team to complete all 5 check points.
Philadelphia is a city old rich in history and culture. This event will ensure you leave not only with a sense of team accomplishment, but also with better knowledge of the birth place of America!!!
Will each team have a chaperone, or only au pairs?
ReplyDeleteCan I invite a host family member to be on my team?
Can we use cars, taxis, buses, bikes, or roller-skates to get from place to place quicker?
Teams may only consist of au pairs. Host families or other non-au pair friends cannot participate.
ReplyDeleteI would not recommend using a bike or roller skates, as teams must stay together, and you will not have an easy time navigating that way. Using a car may be difficult, as far as traffic and parking. We cannot be responsible for any damages done to your host family's car while you are driving it through the city!
