Geocaching

Port au Choix National Historic Site

Geocaching is a modern treasure hunt – a new sport that is growing in popularity with people of all ages. Given the latitudinal and longitudinal co-ordinates, participants use their GPS (Global Positioning System) unit to locate the hidden “cache,” a small box with a punch to record their visit on the program card.

The Exploring Our Ancient Home Geocache Challenge 

To participate, here's what you need to do:

  • Join www.geocaching.com, the global GPS caching website.
  • Use either a GPS or Smartphone to download the geocaching app.
  • Obtain all the co-ordinates for the geocaches from geocaching.com.
  • You must have a valid day entry for the site.
  • Use your device to find the caches.

Upon completion of all caches in the challenge, you can purchase a trackable geocoin! Come to our Visitor Centre to learn more.
