Letterboxing Club - Letterboxing Club Explore nature, socialize, create, solve clues and contribute to the fun! Letterboxing is a 175-year-old worldwide hobby that involves "hiding" boxes in nature for other hobbyists to find...and finding boxes that have been hidden by others.
We use a website to coordinate hiding and searching. Letterboxers leave their "signature" with a unique (often handmade) stamp and return the box to its original hiding place. Letterboxing is family-friendly with unlimited options for exploring!Letterboxing Club meets once a month to learn about the hobby’s history and guidelines, create materials, share resources, and learn how to use the AtlasQuest clue-sharing website. Some meetings may include field trips to search for, or "hide," letterboxes. To learn about Letterboxing, check out the AtlasQuest website: www.atlasquest.com.When: Last Friday of the Month, 11am-12:30pmWhere: Kamen East Park Field House, 1111 South Blvd. Interested?
