Hey, Farmington. Let's find out what's happening in your town. Little camps start this week and will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from June 24th through July 31st.

The Parks and Recreation department is teaming up with Dakota County Library Farmington to run a summer long geocaching hunt. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt that can help your family engage with the natural world. You'll be finding geocaches throughout 25 Farmington Parks and will collect prizes along the way. This program is free, and there are 3 prize levels, level 1 after 5 finds, level 2 after 15 finds, and a grand prize after 25 finds. Booklets will be used to record your finds and will be available to pick up at Dakota County Library Farmington now. Further instructions will be given when the booklet is picked up.
