About the class:

This will be a beginners guide to geocaching taught by an experienced volunteer from the community.

We will cover:
How to read a gps. 
How to find caches.
Respecting the caches.

We will have a time in the classroom to cover the basics of gps. We will then head out side where we will find "caches" that have been hidden in the area.

This class will be followed by a geocaching trip at a later date.

What is 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.

This class will be after co-op ends. If you will be attending co-op, you may bring a lunch to eat after co-op ends before the class begins.
