Go To Activities

Go Geocaching

Geocaching is a fun “treasure hunt” activity where explorers use GPS devices or cell phones with tracking devices to search for “treasure caches” that have been hidden in various locations by other geocachers. The caches typically consist of small containers with trinkets. Geocachers are allowed to take a trinket in exchange for leaving another. The coordinates are then logged online or automatically with new GPS devices.

Finding a cache is simple:

1) Log in to Geocaching.com (it’s free!) to get coordinates which can be downloaded to a handheld GPS unit.

2) Follow the signal to the cache.

3) Take or leave a treasure.

4) Log your find on the Geocaching.com website.

Random Acts of Kindness

Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!
