Intro to Geocaching

Did you know that you’ve probably walked by hidden “treasure” many times in your life and didn’t know it? That’s all part of the game of Geocaching!

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. It’s a great way to find new and interesting places off the beaten path.

Come join us to get an introduction to the game, basics on caches, how to find and log a cache, and then we’ll search for nearby caches together! The game is always more fun with friends, and we always find some cool stuff along the way.

Here’s what to bring:
• Pen (Always bring a pen with you when geocaching!)
• Your charged-up phone*
• Walking/Hiking shoes
• Water
• Bug Spray
• Optional: Little toys or other items for trading (not valuable)
• Hat/Sunscreen/Sunglasses

*Download the FREE Geocaching app on your phone and set up a profile in advance!

Wear suitable clothing for the weather and for walking 3-5 miles.
Meet at the Memorial Park Rugby Field Parking Lot at 12:45 pm. We’ll start the intro at 1 pm sharp, with the geocaching walk to follow!
