Instructor: Dakota County Parks naturalist
Have fun learning a new activity that will get your kids exercising out in nature while looking for hidden treasures. Geocaching is a fun skill using a GPS unit to find hidden caches in Dakota County Parks and other park systems. We'll try it out on-site at Valley Natural Foods for their 5-2-1-0 program.
