HMD Has Fun 
at Road Rally

In the past year, figuring 
out how to create engaging 
programs for college students 
like me has been difficult. 
Safely getting together con-
tinues to be a challenge due 
to COVID-19.
This winter, the staff 
at Hillel of Metro Detroit 
(HMD) came up with a 
creative idea to get outside 
while being safe. 
On Feb. 28, HMD host-
ed a Road Rally Scavenger 
Hunt in the Ferndale area. 
Students signed up in pods 
to work together either in 
person or online. Once 
everyone gathered outside 
at Harding Park, each group 
was given a different clue in 
the form of a riddle and a 
sheet with bonus point activ-
ities. 
The event took students 
from various locations, 
including Yad Ezra, Detroit 
Axe and Dunkin Donuts. 
With short time-limits, stu-
dents darted across town 
cracking riddles to get to the 
next location all while doing 
random tasks like creating 
TikToks and taking pictures 
with dogs, murals and gar-
den gnomes. The top three 
groups got prizes, but every-
one was a winner.

University student majoring in

Applebaum Family Intern.
