July 7–11, 2019
The CHQ Olympics will take place during Week Three — Sunday, July 7, to Thursday, July 11. Teams of four to six people of all ages will compete in a variety of activities — intellectual, physical, artistic, and just plain silly. Some activities will be competitive, with points awarded to teams in the top three finishing positions; points are awarded in other activities for team participation only.
Teams are encouraged to complete five or more CHQ Olympics activities in order to qualify for medals. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to teams earning the top three numbers of total points.
