Parks Mission

Jasper County Conservation and the Newton Public Library have partnered together to create an online family challenge that will take you from your home, to your backyard and out to four of our favorite county parks! 

The game will be run through the GooseChase app—simply download the free app to your phone, create your team name and start earning points by completing challenges. Three new challenges will be posted each Monday, starting June 15th. Your team will have until Sunday, July 12th at midnight to complete all the challenges. The team earning the most points will win a Pelican brand kayak!! Get ready for your summer 2020 outdoor adventure!

If you are having a difficult time finding the locations of our parks, please email Jasper County Conservation Naturalist, Katie Cantu, at kcantu@jasperia.org.

Participants can join the game by following these simple steps:

  1. Download the GooseChase iOS or Android app to your phone or mobile device
  2. Create an account with a username & the password of your choice.
  3. Search for and select the Jasper County Conservation Outdoor Summer Adventure game, or search by game code QMGK7Q.
  4. Follow the prompts to create your team. Teams can be just one person playing as an individual, or the entire family. Please keep your teammates limited to just the people living in your household. 

Check back often! New missions will be released every Monday morning.
