LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Keeping the kids entertained during the summer can be a full-time job, which is why 'Today's THV This Morning' is working to find fun summer activities for you and the family.

Have you heard of Geocaching? It's a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online.

There's still time before school starts to get the kids outside and try your hand at Geocaching.

The Arkansas Geocachers Association is holding a special Geocache Bash this Saturday, August 11 at Burns Park. The day will start with registration and some activities at 9 a.m. with most other events starting at 10 a.m.

THV's Meredith Mitchell spoke with Geocachers Deanna Fleming and Michael Goff to learn more this family friendly event. Click on the THVideo!
