Your ship is sinking! Choose your supplies wisely. Row your lifeboat to shore. See if your family can survive long enough to signal for help. Recommended for families with children 6-14.
After their ship sinks, families will use their communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills to choose supplies, survive the life raft, and earn survival time on the deserted island. Once on the deserted island, family crew members will carry out the tasks necessary to signal for help and survive until rescued. If they complete all tasks within their survival time, they win the challenge. This challenge is best for families with children 6 years and above.
Located in a small "Florida Cracker" style building, with an appealing wrap-around porch, the Windermere branch has an interesting history that spans over four decades. Begun as a town library, it became a branch of the Orange County Library System in August 1991. The current building was constructed through the efforts and the generous donations of many Windermere residents, including those of the Franklin P. Chase Family.
