Geocaching hunt

Described by some as a “game of high-tech hide-and-seek,” geocaching is becoming a popular activity that the whole family can take part in. Participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational device like a smart phone to locate containers, or caches, which can be hidden anywhere. The containers contain notebooks so you can sign off on your find, and sometimes even trinkets left for trade. Beginners can sign out a GPS device at the John Janzen Nature Centre and use it to find the clues for the Robert Bateman Natural Treasures Program, or can simply start off with your own phone, signing into the international geocaching website and following directions from there.
