Looking for a fun way to exercise both mind and body? Try geocaching!

What is Geocaching? Geocaching (JEE-oh-cash-ing), is essentially a giant treasure hunt – with GPS devices! Players use the geocaching website and/or app to locate geocaches near them then follow clues and their GPS/smartphone to a certain set of coordinates where they hunt for a geocache that another player has hidden at that location. Start a new hobby in 2023 and learn more with our experienced instructors!
