Move This Way - Geocaching Fredericton's Trail System 
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches.
This puzzle cache is fairly easy to figure out, but is designed to get you out moving on the Fredericton trail system. Once you find all the letters, unscramble them to make the coordinates for the final cache.
There are signs and benches along the trails that will have numbers on them to help you gather the coordinates.
You will have to visit two (2) different waypoints on five (5) different trails to complete this cache.
The City of Fredericton Community Services Department has offered some great traders to complete the cacheOnce found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards.
Developmental Assets Workshops (Move to Youth)
The "asset approach" is a framework that includes everyone and focuses upon assets that are grouped into eight categories: support, empowerment, boundaries and expectations, constructive use of time, commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, and positive identity. Families, schools, neighborhoods,congregations, and all organizations, institutions, and individuals in a community can play a role in building assets for youth. Workshops can be customized to fit your organization's needs and will introduce the assets, show their power and presence in young people's lives, and give concrete suggestions for what you can do to build assets. Why do some kids grow up with ease, while others struggle? Why do some kids get involved in dangerous activities, while others spend their time contributing to society? Why do some youth "beat the odds" in difficult situations, while others get trapped? Many factors influence why some young people have successes in life and why others have a harder time. Economic circumstances, genetics, trauma, and many other factors play a role. But these factors — which seem difficult, if not impossible to change — aren't all that matters. Research by the Search Institute has identified 40 concrete, positive experiences and qualities -"developmental assets" - that have a tremendous influence on young people's lives. They are things that people from all walks of life can help to nurture. Research shows that the 40 developmental assets help young people make wise decisions, choose positive paths, and grow up to be competent, caring, and responsible individuals.
