Did you know there are over 3 million geocaches hidden around the world? Are you unfamiliar with the term geocache or geocaching? Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor adventure that you can do year-round, almost like a treasure hunt. Whether you're a beginner or expert geocacher, come learn the basics or sharpen your skills on Saturday, October 21st at 2:00 p.m. and Let’s Geocache! Following a presentation by our environmental educator, the group will head out and try to find the four geocaches hidden on the Center's property. There are geocaches hidden all over Oswego County, and one may even be close to your home!
It is suggested that one individual per family/group has the free smartphone app downloaded before coming to the program, so you can follow along and learn how to use the app, which can be found at the official Geocaching website - https://www.geocaching.com/play/mobile.
