Geocaching, a global game of treasure hunting using longitude and latitude coordinates, is a fun filled adventure for all ages. With a GPS receiver, and internet access, you are ready to explore and search for a "geocache". This session will instruct 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. Please dress for the weather (suncreen, sunglasses recommended).
We will start with a PowerPoint presentation explaining Geocaching (approx 50min) then will head outdoors to put your new skills to practice. Several temporary caches will be set up on the Library grounds so you can learn about some different cache types.
