Raiders of the Golden Osprey Adventure is waiting to be discovered BY JEFF FALK
It’s good, clean family fun. It’s problem solving. It’s a local expedition. It’s one of the most creative fundraisers you’ll ever run across. Adam Zurn calls it Raiders of the Golden Osprey Adventure. It’s his vision, his brainchild. “It’s a little bit like ‘National Treasure’ meets Lancaster and Lebanon counties,” said Zurn.
“I’m a child of the ‘80s and I grew up on films. I thought it would be cool to go on an adventure. As I got older, I realized I couldn’t go on adventures anymore. But I get just as much enjoyment from people going on my adventure, from playing my game.” In association with the local history organization Uncharted Lancaster, Raiders of the Golden Osprey Adventure is a real-life treasure hunt.
