First in the series of 8 caches placed by the Museum to
celebrate Take a Child
Outside Week, September 24-30. Take a Child Outside is an
initiative by the NC Museum
of Natural Sciences designed to help break down obstacles that
keep children from discovering the natural world. By arming
parents, teachers and other caregivers with resources on outdoor
activities, our goal is to help children across the country develop
a better understanding and appreciation of the environment in which
they live, and a burgeoning enthusiasm for its exploration. Enjoy
exploring the great outdoors while searching for this cache, and
keep exploring long after you have found it.
This cache originally contained an assortment of Museum-related
swag, including squashed pennies, a magnifying box, a "Take a Child
Outside" magnet, and stretchy critters.
