Dear Parents/Guardians,
This fall we are going to be participating in an outdoor education field trip revolving
around Geocaching. Geocaching is a world-wide activity that involves finding hidden “caches”
around the world; all you need is a handheld Global Positioning Service (GPS) device. The
students will start downtown and learn how to use the GPS and take a tour of some rich and unique
history our beautiful downtown has to offer. In the afternoon we will be heading out to White
Butte to find caches in the wilderness.
This field trip is an outdoor experience, so please be mindful of the weather for the entire
day. Make sure you are prepared for any situation. We will also be eating once we get out to
White Butte, so the students need to bring a bagged lunch. Whatever the student brings to White
Butte they must bring home as well. NO GARBAGE. The field trip will only be cancelled due to
severe inclement weather (heavy rain, sleet, snow, or below -25 C). Remember to pack the
essentials:
