As noted in a Winnipeg Free Press article in March 2006, the Klondike Derby is Survivor, The Amazing Race and Fear Factor all rolled into one (with a few outdoor skills and teamwork thrown in).
The Klondike Derby is a contest requiring teams of 6 to 8 Cubs/Guides and Scouts/Pathfinders to pull a Klondike- type sleigh over a course of approximately 2.5 km through the woods in Camp Amisk.
The team visits ten Klondike "towns" where the "town mayor" assigns the team a particular task or activity. "Nuggets" and points are awarded to the team based on how well it performs the task, the speed and the teamwork.
The instructions for the tasks are written based on the Klondike gold rush theme and include: snowshoeing, fire lighting, and other exciting activities.
