Geocaching is a real treasure hunt that is played outdoors with the help of a GPS device. Prarticipants reach specific coordinates where they will try and find the hidden geocach (box). That’s not all - there are millions of geocaches in the world that are waiting to be found. To start, all you need is a free Geocaching account and the official Geocaching® app or a GPS.

This is the perfect opportunity to work together to showcase our artisans, performance artists and local businesses.
