SCOUTS Teamwork

SCOUTS

    Teamwork...problem solving...communication....camaraderie. These are important elements of the Scouting program. Are you looking for a fun way to encourage these valuable characteristics in your troops & packs? Our Corn Maze incorporates all of these in a way that is fun, entertaining, challenging and educational.

    AZ Mazes’ 2008 Corn Maze is an 8-acre human puzzle in West Phoenix and is the perfect team-building activity and an excellent exercise in building navigational skills. Containing more than three miles of twists and turns, most visitors spend an average of one hour trying to maneuver their way to the one and only exit of the labyrinth.

    It’s all about teamwork. You’re only limited by your own imagination as to how to create an exciting project for your scouts. Your troop can split into two groups, one group starting at the entrance to find the exit; the other group starts at the exit and tries to find the entrance. Or you can compete with another troop on a timed basis. How do YOU want to challenge your scouts?

    We have Scout Passports available (these are sheets with 10 questions on Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts), and as you proceed along the trails you will find 10 numbered posts where you can answer that specific numbered question. The correct answer will turn you right or left in your quest to find the exit. Another challenge, of course, would be to make sure ALL questions are answered, AND in the correct numerical order, which means, you’ve taken the correct trail ALL THE WAY through the maze.

    The Corn Maze will be open Thursday, September 25 through Friday, October 31, 2008 for groups, although most Scout groups come Monday through Thursday evenings. The cost of the field trip is $5.00 per scout (including scout patch for all scouts in the group who complete the Corn Maze). One scout leader is free in each troop. Tours are subject to good weather and irrigation schedule. (Cost for Fear Farm is higher.)

    The scout patch is an award recognizing that the scout has completed the leader’s challenge of the Corn Maze within his/her own troop. The scout patch is not available through Fear Farm and can only be awarded by participation within his/her own scout troop.

    Picnic tables are available for lunch or meetings in the grassy area of the corn field and in the back yard of the house. You may bring your own lunch, have pizza delivered or buy snacks food or drinks from our Snack Bar. (Snack Bar only open when Maze is open to public; water will be available for purchase other times). A deposit of $10 is required to reserve a picnic area. Or arrange for a special meal prepared by Steve’s Smoke House.

Tours are subject to good weather and irrigation scheduling (irrigation is scheduled for Oct. 6 through Oct. 9, 2008). The trails in the Corn maze are wheel chair accessible.

No alcoholic beverages are allowed on the property.

CORN MAZE RULES: For the safety of you and all of our other guests, we do have some basic rules which we expect visitors to abide by. We have corn cops available to enforce the rules...and also to help you find your way out. One of our most important rules bears mentioning specifically. And that is NO SMOKING, NO FIRES, NO FIREWORKS.... inside our fences, either in the Common Area, or inside the corn field.

We are at 99th Avenue & McDowell
near the intersection of I-10 and the 101 Freeway.
