CS OUTDOORS GEOCACHING ADVENTURES

MONDAY -02:45 PM - 4:15PM

DATES: 4/22, 4/29, 5/6 ONLY
Geocaching is the real-world treasure hunt that’s happening right now, all around you. There are
2,303,488 active geocaches worldwide and quite a few near Esperero Canyon Middle School! So if
you are looking for a fun way to exercise both mind and body, come give geocaching a try! This
will be an outdoor activity that combines hiking with a tech-aided treasure hunt. Instead of a map
where X marks the spot, you use an app on your smartphone or one of our GPS's and of course your power of observation. Instead of hunting for a buried chest, you're looking for a cache hidden in
an eco-friendly site above ground. We will create our own geocache accounts online to keep track of
our findings, learn how to cache in and trash out each week as we visit Sabino Canyon and nearby
locations to find our treasures each week!
