This cache is dedicated to the Girl Scouts of Prairie Hill Day Camp.
Prairie Hill Day Camp is a community camp where teen-aged program assistants (PAs) guide campers side by side with adult volunteers. We offer a program of learning skills. Your girl will learn things such as fire building, team building, public speaking and performing, first aid, archery, cooking, canoeing, knot tying and lacing. These activities are age appropriate with positive and progressive reinforcement as they advance each camp year.
Gadget and SMART caches are easy to locate, but hard to get into. You will have to discover the trick to unlock the geocache container and logbook. The cache owners run the Geocaching Unit at Prairie Hill and this first SMART cache to be beta-tested at camp in 2018. The girls LOVED it so we decided to pursue placing it as an official geocache as soon as possible. It is our hope that our camp experience will continue to help us create new and interesting gadget caches to share with the larger geocaching community each year.
To increase the difficulty and create more of an adventure to find this cache, you must first take a nice walk and collect some information around the park to determine the coordinates for the final cache location.
