2025 Summer Bingo Scavenger Hunt photo of purple coneflower by Delaney Dahl.

   All ages are invited to participate in Happy Dancing Turtle’s Summer Bingo Scavenger Hunt. The challenge is to take photos of items listed on the bingo card, then submit them online or via email. Join this no-cost adventure anytime and submit photos through August 15, 2026. This all-ages activity encourages close observation of the outdoors. From berries to nectivores to clouds & water, there are 24 items total. The more rows or columns you complete on the bingo card, the more chances you will have to win a bigger prize! Find the registration link and more details at https://www.happydancingturtle.org/bingo-scavenger-hunt.

   A new hunt is offered each season. “Summer has so many things, it can feel like nature is just showing off,” said Michelle Hoefs, HDT staff and one of the hunt’s organizers. “It’s one of the very best times to be outside!” 

   With headquarters in Pine River, Minnesota, as well as a hub in the Driftless Region of Minnesota and Wisconsin, Happy Dancing Turtle is a nonprofit dedicated to growing good stewards of the planet by providing education, programs, and experiences for youth and adults that inspire wonder and empower change.
