Your Letterboxing Weekend...
|
 |
Letterboxing is an active outdoor hobby that combines elements
of orienteering, art and problem-solving. Letterboxers hide small,
weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places and distribute
clues to finding the box on several web sites (www.letterboxing.org
or www.atlasquest.com,
for example).
Individual letterboxes usually contain a logbook and a rubber
stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp on their
personal logbook, and leave an impression of their personal stamp
on the letterbox's logbook — as proof of having found the
box. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find
count".
If you are looking for an active outdoor weekend event for good
family fun, this is the active event for you and your family!For
those looking to pursue the "No Child Left Inside" initiative,

New Boxers Weekend

Package price includes 2 nights stay for two along with 2 breakfasts each morning and a Friday night Welcome buffet for two. Pricing will be for two people for the weekend with an option for a 3rd or 4th guest staying in the same room for those rooms large enough to accommodate the additional people.

Weekend highlights include Friday night Welcome Buffet and time to exchange along with a brief intro to boxing including some history. A good portion of Saturday will be spent at the Dover Town Hall at their expansive facilities for education seminars offered in a "station" style. 6 areas are set up with the various individual disciplines manned by an experienced boxer who is regarded as having an accomplished talent in the specific subject. Attendees will be broken up into small groups of about 6 to 8 people and will visit each of the tables in an on-going rotation. Everyone will get a chance to effectively learn each subject. We are planning on about 4 time period plus lunch for these learning sessions. If more time is needed, we will allow it. We want you to come away with a good understanding of all the information that is offered. After Saturday's instruction, we'll be looking forward to a little local boxing before we freshen up and meet at a local pub style restaurant for dinner and a few drinks. Sunday morning, after breakfast in your individual inn, we might have a short organized event or just leave the time open for more boxing in the area before checkout.
All of our Back to Our Roots boxes are still in place so you might want to bring those clues with you for the weekend!
While the event's activities are scheduled just for Saturday, we invite you to come early or linger past the event and enjoy all that Southern VT has to offer.
