MORNING BREAKFAST/ MEET AND GREET EVENT
- 8:00 until 10:00 AM


The coordinates given above are for the Waukesha Schuetze Recreation Center located along the Fox River. This is the hub of the city's JanBoree events this morning. During the time of our gathering the Pancake Breakfast will be in full swing.

As you enter the building, turn to the right, we will be in the room at the end of the hallway. We will not be set up in the main room with the Pancake breakfast but you are welcome to purchase your meal and bring it into our room. (Meal purchases are not required.)

Come meet other Geocachers, share your geocaching stories, trade travel bugs and share your special geocoins here! Geocoin trades are also welcome. If you do not like winter geocaching, you are most welcome to come and say hello! The Schuetze Recreation Center is wheelchair accessible, weather permitting.


GEOCACHING 101 PRESENTATION

9:00-10:00 AM - Join AuntieNae for a presentation to learn the basics needed to enjoy this eco-friendly sport including suggested equipment, the website, how to search for a cache and types of caches. You will enjoy the thrill of the hunt but the real discovery is the countless locations of natural beauty and historical interest you will find that you never knew existed. Families are encouraged to participate.

EXPERIENCED GEOCACHERS, YOUR HELP IS NEEDED If you are willing to take some new geocachers outside to find a few caches around the park, please stop in and sign up. We will then extend this opportunity to people who attend the presentation.


GEOKIDS ACTIVITIES

9:00-10:00 AM - GeoKids and their parents can join GR8 EYES in a series of GeoKid friendly activities including making their own tradie bag, how to use a compass, geocaching etiquette and more. (Please indicate number of children on your will attend so we have enough supplies.)

We do need to leave this location by 10:30 AM to allow for set up for the group following us.

REGULAR CACHES Be sure to download the many geocaches in the Waukesha area prior to coming to our event.

BRING YOUR CAMERA Our event sponsors love to see photos of you and your family participating in this event.

WEATHER CANCEL? Are we geocachers or what? Will we cancel for snow? This event will be held snow or no snow, extreme cold or sun. The first year this event was held we experienced a major snowstorm the morning of. It just adds to the fun!
