Discover Chicago – Let’s Go Geocaching |
After a brief session on learning how to use a Global Positioning System (GPS), participants will be directed to several caches near the convention site in Chicago to discover several different types of actual caches. Experienced cachers can bring their own GPS units. Beginners will be provided with a GPS unit from the presenters. All participants will meet at the AAHPERD registration area and then proceed to venture out into the city for a morning/afternoon of fun and adventure!
**Participants need to meet in registration area and look for “Geocaching” sign to leave for offsite venue. |
