The Zion Kindergarten class spent Wednesday morning learning how to using a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit to find hidden treasures in Victoria Park.

The class found four treasures referred to as geocaches hidden in the park by Kelly Galloway (left) of Engineering Technologies Canada Ltd., Stratford. Students Ailish Bergin (centre left) and Caroline Galloway (centre right) prepare to navigate to the next geocache while Zion Kindergarten teacher, Donna MacLean looks on.

According to the web site www.geocaching.com there are currently 45 geocaches hidden on PEI and a total of 174,000 in 214 countries around the world. Geocaching combines geography, hiking and treasure hunting. All you need to participate is a GPS unit and a sense of adventure.
