Load up the car with as many as will fit (have the the GPS preloaded if possible) and let them go. We have done this for 3 years and it is great fun

We will be starting homeschooling this year and I (the Dad) will be the homeschooling parent.

Hello my name is Larry and I am a nerd. Fortunately I have two boys so I think they will survive. I had already decided to include geocaching as part of the curriculum. I am currently mulling over ideas on how go beyond the obvious subject connections and see if we can make this a longer term “unit” and drop some travel bugs with the kind of instructions that will take them to study related locations. The idea is still in it’s infancy so we will have to see.

Ideas anyone?

What a nice time outdoors with your boys, searching for “treasure”. Don’t you feel like the cool Mom, now? I bet they loved it. For the first few, just make sure they are marked as easy to find and that they are the bigger caches with the toys inside and they will be hooked.
