Let's Geocache!

  • Saturday, October 21, 2023, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Did you know there are 388 geocaches hidden around Parish? Whether you're a beginner or expert geocacher, come learn the basics or sharpen your skills! 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.

We ask that one individual per family/group has the free 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

Fee

$4 per family, $12 per family, and children under three are free!

Philosophy

The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it! Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is a laboratory where youth and adults can observe nature first hand, alone or under the guidance of one of the Center’s Environmental Educators. Public programs often feature guest presenters who are recognized leaders in the fields of wildlife management, outdoor education, and botany. It is also the Center’s belief that learning should be fun.
