Compass Treasure Hunt at Duxbury Beach

Description

There's only one way to find hidden treasure along the shoreline, and it starts with learning to read a compass.

On this hands-on navigation program at Duxbury Beach, learn the basics of compass use and immediately put those skills to work on a shoreline treasure hunt that encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and outdoor discovery.

Mass Audubon is grateful for the generosity of the Duxbury Beach Reservation Inc. for funding this program and for their service and dedication to protecting the critical resource we know as Duxbury Beach.
