Camp KYSOC was an active camp for special needs children for 50 years until 2010, and then it fell into disrepair until 2019 when the Friends of KYSOC was organized and began renovating. In the last 4 years, the camp has become an integral part of the community. The nature center has expanded, the lodge hosts events, and the trails and lake draw both walkers and kayakers. I placed four caches here two years ago, unaware that this side of the camp even existed. When I discovered it, it gave me an immediate sense of nostalgia for the 4-H camp I used to attend as a child.
After teaching geocaching workshops to kids today (6/14/23) at the summer camp and showing them this ammo can, I hid it in this spot that I had already pre-planned. If you're one of those kids, remember everything we talked about:
- look before reaching
- watch where you step
- try to trade items instead of just take
- if you take a trackable, you must log it in the app and then move it to a new cache and log it again.
Good luck to everyone searching, but especially these new budding geocachers. I hope you learn to love the hunt as much as I do.
You can stay on a trail until you get to this one or you can take a more direct route through some vegetation.
