With a GPS receiver and internet access, you are ready to explore
and hunt for a "geocache". Learn the basics necessary to enjoy this
eco-sport including suggested equipment, GPS units, the website,
how to search for a cache and types of caches. After the
presentation, the group will go to Konkel Park to put their
new skills to practice (transportation on your own). Children are
welcome to participate with their parents or caregiver.
Program will include searching for temporary caches hidden at
Konkel park. 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.
Families are encouraged to participate. Please dress for the
weather and bring your flashlights. Workshop will include both an
indoors and outdoors portion. If you have a GPS unit, please bring
it.
