This summer I’ll be teaching a class on geocaching for tweens at the YMCA. It will be a week-long class. Anyone have any advice for me? I think one thing I’ve heard is that it is better to place temp caches so that permanent caches aren’t subject to being muggled. Anything else? I don’t suppose there’s anyone in the area that has an extra unit (not your best and shiniest one) that they’d let me borrow for the week? I think my supervisor also wants to buy another unit for the Y if anyone has an old one they’d be willing to sell us or donate for a tax write-off (since we’re a non-profit). I think it would be fun to create some puzzles and have them solve them as well before we go out and hunt for them. Thanks in advance for the advice, I’m working on planning now so that I’m well-prepared for the summer when it comes.

Maybe once I put this together I’d have something in place to teach a WGA event in the future for kids? 😛
