Stranded on Treasure Island!

Oh, no, you’re stranded on a deserted island; what will you do?  Luckily, your camp counselors are natives and can help you to explore the island. They’ll teach you important survival skills such as building a shelter and finding edible plants, and help you find lots of fun things to do on the island!  Rumor has it, there is a treasure hidden somewhere on the island; will you be able to find it before your rescue boat arrives (45 girls min./120 girls max.)?
