Geocache Description:


Robin Hood School - CARW2018

With this years CARW having a ‘Back to Geo-School’ theme, we thought we would school everyone with some actual schools!  These caches will give you some history on some of the schools in the Strathcona County / Sherwood Park area.  We hope you enjoy being schooled!

In 1963 under the guidance of Col. E.W. Cormack and Dr.Barbara Cormack, the Robin Hood School was opened in a renovated home on Cottonwood Avenue with eleven students. With a growing number of students, a building was constructed on Spruce Avenue in 1968. The school began its adult vocational program and opened its first group home in 1974. The Robin Hood Learning Centre opened in 1997 on Broadway Boulevard and provides a wide range of services to people with disabilities. The Cormacks, both recipients of the Order of Canada, were interviewed in 1983 and described their efforts as follows, "It's a community triumph. It isn't one person or two persons, it's the whole community that's done it."

This CARW2018 cache will be published prior to the CARW event.

Please remember that caches cannot be hunted until 9am Saturday March 3rd

Should you find this cache prior, it will not count for the event, and FTF points are only valid as of 9am March 3rd.

There are a total of 15 caches in this series.  Some of the traditional caches are feeder caches, and will end up providing the final coordinates for the puzzle cache:
