Want to give HoCo Pirate Adventures a try but not sure if it's right for your pirates? Do a FREE TREASURE HUNT at Guilford Park in Columbia, MD! It is available year round, any time you want to do it! There are three levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert - just like our monthly hunts. Pick the one that's right for your pirate(s), print them out, and have an adventure!

Then if you like it, join us for our regular monthly hunts, April through December. Only $8 per family (NOT per pirate) and they're self-guided, so you print out the maps and go whenever you want while the hunt is available!

HUNT EXTENDED THROUGH 8/30!

tiny.cc/AugustHunt

Hey Crew! The weather has been nuts this hunt, with storms rolling through unpredictably and more on the way. We want to be sure everyone has the opportunity to find some treasure, so we are going to extend the hunt through August 30th at sunset!
Do us a favor and spread the word about the treasure hunts - see if you can get some friends or neighbors to go on their first hunt while this one is open for another week! Thanks for telling folks about us, mateys! We really appreciate it!

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT HUNT, CREW!!

We had lots of first timer's come out this month! Welcome to all of you and we hope you enjoyed your maiden voyage with us! We still have six more hunts this year, all the way through December!

Now I'd like to ask a favor, ESPECIALLY of our newcomers - could you please tell a couple of your friends, family, coworkers, teammates, etc. about the treasure hunts? Share the free treasure hunts with them (tiny.cc/FreeHunts) or invite them along next month! Word of mouth is the best way we grow!

Also, if you could, leave us a 5-star, glowing review on Google (tiny.cc/PirateReview) so people know how much fun you had!

Thanks, mateys! See you out there next month!
