Looking for some volunteers.....

Greetings!

 

The_LangHerd is looking for some volunteers. We're presenting a 'Geocaching' fun event at Horace Mann Elementary School in Redmond for 4 consecutive Wednesdays in May (9, 16, 23, and 30).

 

It's a two hour block each day (1pm to 3pm) that we'll be spending with a group of kids (up to 30), showing them how the sport of Geocaching works, and helping them to construct, hide and seek the caches they create.

 

It looks like it's going to be extremely popular with the kids.

 

The first half of day 1 will be spent explaining the technology and the sport. Then the kids will seek a couple of caches.

 

The second day will be spent working through a simple puzzle, and a multi-cache.

 

The third day the kids will spend building their individual geocaches, and building a permanent cache. It's the future "Horace Mann Colts Geocache", which will be hidden in a nearby park (unless we receive permission from the school to place it on the border of their property).

 

The fourth day the kids hide their caches and the groups will take turns seeking each other team's caches.

 

As it stands right now, everything will take place on the school property. We may be walking to a nearby park if the school insurance bubbas allow it.

 

What we need.....

 

Volunteers that love kids! Please bring your enthusiasm and your patience. Working with kids can be challenging sometimes.

 

We will have 2 GPSs on hand, but could use more. The goal is to have one per group of kids. Probably 5 total needed.

 

Any cool geocaches you have pre-built that are not placed yet. We'll be building some during the class, but want to give them some ideas for their own. They'll just be hidden for a day, so the kids can find them. You'd get them right back.

 

What do you get in return? The joy of watching kids learn a new sport. Much laughter! Watching kids do stuff is absolutely hilarious. Your name placed on the official Horace Mann Colts cache :(

 

If you are interested in helping out, please reply here, or contact us at cachemonkey@gmail.com.

 

Thanks for any support you can provide...

p.s. Any cool (kid friendly) GeoSwag that could be donated would also be appreciated
