Orienteering and Geocaching — Together in one class!

Come to camp and be trained to lead your girls on a scavenger hunt - Girl Scout style. You will learn how to read topographical maps, use a compass and a GPS (global positioning system) unit. You will also learn about GIS (global information systems) and digital mapping; how they work and how they can be used with your girls.

Please dress for the weather (we will be outside), wear comfortable shoes for hiking, and bring a sack lunch.
