This weekend we hosted our first “Geocaching with Kids” In-Store Workshop at our Old Sacramento Store. If you missed it, you can see part of it by watching the flash seminar:
The following is a recipe for adventure….
First published on the Trailmix.Net blog in 2006, the Educational Expedition has been tested, revised, and simplified. What is it? It’s a three step process for planning outdoor adventures that tap into the educational potential of backyards, state parks, national parks, and other public lands.
Anybody can use this formula to create an extraordinary learning experience. You don’t have to be a professional educator or outdoor guide. This plan was written by parents for parents and all you need is access to a backyard, park, or other public land and a little creativity.
Best of all….. its free. To get yours, click here: Educational Expeditions
Location:
116B I Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814
Looking for a family adventure? We can help. In fact, family adventure is our specialty.
When we opened our brick and mortar store in Old Sacramento in June, before the first drop of paint went on the wall, before the signs were hung, even before the travelbug sticker was placed in the window, we started building the Old Sacramento Scavenger Hunt.
What is it? The Old Sacramento Scavenger Hunt is a free working example of a concept that we call an “Educational Expedition” where parents blend education and outdoor recreation to create family adventure.
We coined the term Educational Expedition to describe what we do on the Trailmix.Net Blog back in 2007, and have been refining the idea ever since. The gist of it is this: grab the kids, set a goal that balances education and outdoor recreation, go on an adventure. Repeat.
To get started, visit The Old Sacramento Scavenger Hunt website and click the button to download the Adobe PDF file. In it, you will find instructions, a treasure map of Old Sacramento, and all of the scavenger hunt riddles. The website also has introductory information about the places that you will visit, as well as links for more information.
When you solve all of the riddles, be sure to stop by the Trailmix.Net store in Old Sacramento (right across the street from the California State Railroad Museum) to claim your free prize and check out Northern California's original and best selection of family adventure products.
