Upcoming Geocaching Workshops

We provide full geocaching consulting services including geocache placement, instructional workshops, and one on one teaching.
Our goal is to create memories for people that introduces them to new locations while sharing the history and appreciation for those that came before us.
We do this by working with you to create custom designed geocaches that are located in a safe and accessible areas. We respect the natural environment and will work with land owners and admin staff from geocaching.com to ensure proper, authorized placement.
Why Geocaching?
Geocachers are represented in nearly every demographic in over 180 countries. Everyone from ages 8 to 88 play, with 80% between 20 and 45 years old. They are avid sightseers, outdoor adventurers, tech-lovers and geeks who hike. Your own neighbors might be geocachers.
Over 15 million geocaching accounts have been created to date. Let’s entice some of those people to travel to your area!
With that many geocaches, comes 1000’s of people over time visiting one or more geocaches that you have placed. Time in your region means more chances to spend their money locally, whether it be dining out after a terrific hunt in the bush, filling up their tank of gas, shopping locally or staying overnight in order to enjoy more geocaches the next day.
