About the event

Geocaching is a treasure hunt where participants use GPS coordinates to track down hidden "caches." We will learn how to use traditional GPS units and the Geocaching app (by Groundspeak) and then find real geocaches hidden in the park. Wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. Space is limited. For ages 6 and up. All participants (children and adults) must be registered. Meet at the Cypress Shelter.

Schedule: Jun 27, 2026 Saturday from 1:30pm to 3pm
