Camp Sam Wood now has 12 Geocaches for campers to find! Some
Geocaches will be easy to find, some tricky, and a few are quite challenging.
There are regular caches, multi-caches, mystery/puzzle caches, and even a night
cache! For many Geocachers the thrill is in the hunt and the primary goal is to
sign the logbook stored in the cache. But many love the caches that contain
items for trading, and several of the caches at camp are provisioned with
various Scouting patches or tchotchkes, so come prepared with your own items
for trading! The camp now boasts 10 private caches that are available only to
campers at Sam Wood and are not listed on Geocaching.com, and 2 public caches
that were hidden by non-Scouting Geocachers on or near camp and are listed on
Geocaching.com. The project to hide the caches was launched by a Scout who
recently participated in NYLT and used the project to complete his ticket. A
pdf file is available with all the information needed to find all 12 caches.
Ask about the Geocaches when confirming your reservations, or inquire with the
ranger when you arrive at camp. Don't forget, when you find a cache you are
expected to put it back exactly where you found it (or where it belongs). Now
go have fun and explore the camp!
