  If you like the outdoors, hunting for treasure, solving puzzles, math & history, and cutting edge technology this is for you!  We will begin by providing a brief overview of what land surveying is and what a land surveyor does.  After that we will introduce the scouts to all of the technology land surveyors use on a daily basis.  This will include 3D scanners, robotic total stations, GPS instruments and drones!  All that attend will get hands on experience with this equipment at each of the learning stations.

Pre-Req: Homework is attached before you check out.
