OUTDOOR PROGRAMS
The Museum has a variety of outdoor programs that your Unit can participate in, depending on your interests and available time. You can do one or more programs during the same visit. Ask your camp’s Program Director to call the Museum to reserve time for your group and let us know which program(s) you want to do. You can also schedule a visit for your Unit by calling us directly.

GEOCACHING (2 hrs. or less)

Following the list of coordinates, use the GPS units to find geocaches around Turnpike Lake. At each geocache, the group is encouraged to take a trinket out but you must put something in.
