Serious Skills for Adults
Letterboxing 101
Saturday, March 11
9-Noon
Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with delightful "treasure-hunts" in parks, cities, historical areas and more around the world. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by cracking codes and following clues; this 160 year old game is actually the precursor to geocaching! We'll spend a few hours getting acquainted with the in's and out's of letterboxing, try carving your own stamp and find a few letterboxes right here at Blue Jay! This workshop has been approved for Criteria II or III credit for participants in the NC EE Certification program.
$15/person includes logbook and stamp
