Follow on Google News | 15 New York Campgrounds Participating In A Statewide Geocaching Event On June 11th In Celebration OfGeocaching - a high-tech treasure hunt - offers another opportunity to get kids engaged with the outdoors.
By: Campground Owners of New York Geocaching is a like a high-tech scavenger hunt in which the players use GPS devices to search for hidden treasures, using coordinates that are given to them as clues to use in the hunt. “Geocaching has gotten to be a really popular camping activity in recent years, partly because it’s as appealing to adults as it is to children,” said Don Bennett, president and CEO of Campground Owners of New York, the Pittsford-based trade association that represents New York’s campground industry. In fact, 15 New York campgrounds will be participating in a statewide geocaching contest on June 11th in celebration of National Get Outdoors Day. A special coin will be hidden in one of the participating campgrounds, which the finder can redeem for a special prize. Visit www.gogeocachingny.com for more information.
