Board Members - There will be a 5-day discussion period for this request. On Monday, a link to a survey to vote on this request will be sent.
The Gallatin Gateway Youth Group (GYG) is hosting a 3-day camp for 6th-8th graders in late July. A 3-hr morning workshop will be given on GPS/GIS and geocaching. We are renting the GPS trunk from the MT Natural History center and will use them to locate a few geocaches in Gallatin Gateway and then conduct our own "treasure hunt" using the GPS units to navigate from point to point. We are expecting 10-15 kids to participate in the camp.
We would like to ask MAGIP for $100 for the rental of the trunk ($45) and for a treasure (popsicle, water bottles, or something along those lines) that the kids will find on their last stop.
Please be aware that the MT Natural History Center has already indicated that MAGIP will be paying for the shipping of the trunk ($54-66).
Project Dates - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - Friday, July 25, 2014
Carrie Shockley, MAGIP member, will be conducting the training, geocaching and treasure hunt.
Funds requested from MAGIP for this Gallatin Gateway Youth Group camp total $100, for the purpose of renting the GPS Trunk from MT Natural History Center and for geocache treasures.
