ADAPTED GEOCACHING

HYLAND LAKE PARK RESERVE

Yummy, gooey, warm smores! Sound good? Sure it does, but first you have to find them! The only way to find the supplies to make them is to use our GPS units. On Sunday, October 20, from 1-3 p.m., at Hyland Lake Park Reserve, Bloomington, we will teach you the basics of how to use the GPS units. Then we will send you off on an adventure in the park to find as many caches as you can. Return with the supplies and we will have the campfire waiting. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Equipment is provided.

Cost is $8 and reservations are required. Call 763-559-6700 to make a reservation and reference activity number #423011-01. This program is designed to accommodate persons with disabilities and is open to all ages.
