Help move a cave in the next 17 days

Postby Dave Jackson » May 15, 2012 9:30 pm

Thanks to everyone who has donated to our CaveSim project! We are only $507 from putting CaveSim in a trailer to take cave education on the road, and we have only 17 days to raise the $507. We need your help! If you haven't pitched in yet, even donating a dollar toward our project will help by encouraging others to donate. Here's a link to the project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/813491856/cavesim-at-nss-caving-convention-2012. And if you've ever wanted an artificial cave formation, now is your chance to get one!

Here's a fun video of the work that we do to inspire kids to become interested in caving and to take care of caves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_dQbg67KWk

Be sure to donate, or ask your grotto to donate, and then to stop by CaveSim at MayaCon. Thanks for your support!

P.S. Here's a picture of a recent 4th and 5th grade field trip to the CaveSim garage. The kids are crowding around the CaveSim computer to watch the night-vision cameras to see their friends crawl through CaveSim. The kids learn a lot about caving softly and safely, but we could reach many more kids if we could take CaveSim to schools, rather than having them visit our garage!
