This is a single person event. This activity requires the use of the www.geoaching.com website and GPS, or the Geocaching App for your mobile device.

ELIGIBILITY

Participants must be current University of Regina student, enrolled in a minimum of 1 credit hour.

Caches entered cannot be used by the same person in two different challenges, the caches must be original to that challenge.

EXPLANATION

Geocaching is an outdoor activity that is similar to “treasure hunting”. This activity requires participants to use a GPS-enabled device to navigate to a set of coordinates found on geocaching.com or by using the Geocaching app (free download from the App Store, or Google Play store). At the coordinates, an individual will find a “cache” (treasure) hidden in various sized containers.
There are various types of caches, such as multi-stage, virtual, EarthCache, and puzzle caches.
All caches have varying degrees of difficulty for two aspects: Terrain (getting to the cache) and Difficulty (how well hidden the cache is at the coordinates)
Some caches have small prizes inside depending on the size. If someone takes a prize, they must swap in a prize, 1-for-1, of equal or greater value.

OBJECTIVE

Participants must find as many caches as they can, to be eligible for a champion t-shirt
Entries will also be drawn for prizes throughout the challenge
The first 50 U of R Students will receive a Neck Gaiter (neck warmer)

RULES
