Geocaching can be a fun and educational outdoor activity. The video below from Geocaching.com explains in simple terms what geocaching is and how you can get started. There's clearly a plug at the end for Geocaching.com's subscription service (they also have a free service) but otherwise it's a good introduction to geocaching.
Applications for Education
Having students participate in geocaching activities can be a good way to move geography lessons out of the classroom.

Excited to use Geocaching this school year as I incorporate it into 8th Grade Science curriculum in NC.
I've enjoyed using geocaching for several years with fourth grade by saving waypoints on campus and hiding mini caches. We also started a travel bug called the Matriculating Mascot and follow it's progress. Google maps makes it easy to show the logistics of our bug's journey.
Thanks for sharing!
