The Pennsylvania Outdoor Corps ((PAOC) is a training program administered by the Student Conservation Association (SCA)in direct cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resource (DCNR). The PAOC offers paid work experience, skills training, professional development, and environmental education opportunities to youth and young adults across Pennsylvania.

This Cache is located at one of the PAOC projects completed in the park.
At Prince Gallitzin State Park, the forested hills of the Allegheny Plateau cradle sprawling Glendale Lake. Vistas offer scenic views of the 1,635-acre lake with its 26 miles of shoreline, which is a favorite of anglers and boaters. Campers flock to the large campground and also enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities. The varied habitats of the park make it a home for many types of wildlife, and a rest stop in the spring and fall migrations.
