Come Out & Play 2013-2014
It’s baaaaaaaaack!
Come Out & Play 2013 – 2014 will officially begin on December 1st and run through to March 31st, 2014, with launch events happening in several locations the weekend of November 23-24th, but you may have a sneak peek now which gives you a couple of weeks to plan your attack. We had such a busy summer and fall that we weren’t able to change much from last year so the tasks will look familiar to some of you.
For new cachers or those who aren’t familiar with it, COAP is a contest to get folks out caching during the cold months of winter. Participation is province wide (and then some), with all NB cachers and those from communities bordering us in both Maine and Quebec eligible to play. The objective is to complete at least 20 of the 44 tasks during the contest period. Speed is generally not a factor but strategy can play a huge part in how well you do, so read the rules and tasks carefully before you start to plan your game.
The English version of the rules and tasks can be found here and the French version here.If you have any questions at all or want clarification on anything please post it as a comment here or send us an email at milosheart@rogers.com
For easy access to all COAP information, to register (you must register to play) and to submit claims there will be a Come Out & Play banner at the top of the page which will be activated closer to the start of the contest.
Since we couldn’t do this without their tech work and support, a huge thank you to Matt, Ken and Chris here at CUNB for making it easier for us to put this contest on every year. We appreciate them so much and could not do this without their continued help and support. Thank you guys!
We hope you’ll join us and Come Out & Play!

Lori and I LOVE COAP! Been looking forward to it all year 🙂
Yeah, love COAP ! Looking forward to another fun winter 🙂 Thanks to all involved in making this such a great challenge.
Can you end up with negative overall points? If so, does this count towards “lowest score”?
Elvis and Co, yes you can and yes it does! 🙂 Points and totals may be either positive or negative, your choice. For negative scores, the bigger the number the lower the score.
Can’t make it to any of the events, but I’ll try to do some of the challenges. Wish me luck.
Good luck, AutisticMajor! 🙂 Any questions, let us know. Have fun!
