wandat24 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I’ve been wanting to do something with my daughter’s class dealing with Geocaching. I have also thought about maybe an event for the 4 corners here (of course anyone who wants to can participate/join in either one). I’ve thought about just doing a fun day with the class and show them how things work, but got to thinking it may be fun to host an event on a weekend and have all sorts of people come and hold a “training class” for those who want to learn. I’m leery about the event though, because I want to invite the class and perhaps a few other classes. Can I put up fliers around town for it? Which would be best? I thought about posting this on the forums for my area, but not real sure if many local cachers look at them. I don’t know of many groups nearby. The only one I can think of (or find for that matter) is the one in Tulsa, and I’m a ways from there. So, I decided to come here and the opinion from everyone. Do any of you have any ideas, suggestions, or comments about it? Have any of you ever done something like this? I hope to be able to get some local cachers to help out with it. It’d make it a bit easier on me if I wasn’t the only one. Quote Link to comment
+msrubble Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 If it were me, I think I would start small and try it with one class or a Scout troop and see how it goes before inviting the general public. Or you might invite the class and their families. For other cachers who might help out, is there a college near you? Maybe they have a geocaching student organization, or outdoor activities staff. How about a sporting goods store? Salespeople might be willing to demonstrate their GPS units. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Quote Link to comment
wandat24 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 So, what study would Geocaching fall under? I need to know what class/club to contact about the caching fun day... So far I don't see anything on the site about anything in particular that catches my eye. Quote Link to comment

wandat24 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Geography? Could fit it into a science module... Ok, thank you. I wasn't real sure of a subject. I was thinking Geography. I think my best bet would be to visit the school in person (the college) about it. Quote Link to comment
