Geocache Description:



Learn Geocaching at Trailside Nature & Science Center!


Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache container hidden at that location. If you are curious about Geocaching and would like to give it a try, stop by Union County's Trailside Nature & Science Center on Saturday, November 17, 2018, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

The event will start with an introduction to geocaching in the Trailside auditorium at 2:00 pm, followed by an interactive demonstration to find nearby published and temporary geocaches.

Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC) and Central Jersey Geocachers (CJG) will be presenting an Introduction to Geocaching demonstration. This event is a great chance for those who know nothing or little about Geocaching, to learn and experience this growing family activity. We're hoping that some of you "old timers" will come out to help share your love of Geocaching. This workshop is being offered to introduce participants to the basics of geocaching and the geocaching web site.

New to Geocaching?


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."

Volunteers will instruct the basics needed to enjoy this eco-friendly sport including suggested equipment, the web site, 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.

Experienced Geocachers, your assistance is needed!


Participants will be paired with a volunteer to head out on the trail. A series of temporary caches will be placed to demonstrate various hides and containers. Please post a “will attend” below or email Lati.dude if we can count on you to volunteer, as little or as much time as you can offer. We need you to make this a success!

Come learn about the sport, meet other cachers, hear stories about favorite hides and teach someone else your tricks. This activity is open to the public to promote geocaching, so bring your GPS and help others find their FTF!
