Geocaching is a unique outdoor recreational activity, like a scavenger hunt. Participants, regardless of their age and ability, can use latitude/longitude coordinates and a hand-held GPS unit or smart phone with GPS capabilities to locate hidden containers, called “caches”. Caches typically contain a “treasure”. As part of our event, we will hide “caches” and give you the coordinates to help you with your search. If you have a GPS unit, bring it along. If you don’t, we will have units to loan out for the event. For those not familiar with geocaching, a short presentation will be provided at 10:30 am.
Why should you attend?
The event is FREE. No registration is required. All participants will get a treasure and prizes will be available.
