International Geocaching Day

August 17, 2024

Geocaching box for International Geocaching Day

International Geocaching Day takes place on the third Saturday in August each year. This day is dedicated to the global treasure-hunting game of geocaching, where participants use GPS coordinates to find hidden caches. International Geocaching Day celebrates the adventure, community, and exploration associated with geocaching, encouraging both seasoned geocachers and newcomers to join in the fun.

Geocaching began in 2000, quickly becoming a popular activity for outdoor enthusiasts and tech-savvy adventurers alike. The game involves hiding containers, called caches, and listing their coordinates online. Other participants then use GPS devices or smartphones to find these hidden treasures. Caches can be found in urban areas, forests, parks, and even underwater, making it a versatile and exciting activity for all ages.

To celebrate International Geocaching Day, geocachers around the world participate in special events, challenges, and gatherings. These activities foster a sense of community and provide opportunities to learn more about geocaching, exchange tips, and share stories of past adventures. It’s a day to embrace the thrill of the hunt and the joy of discovery.
