Geocaching in Your Community

Program Information

This is a two-part program that includes an introductory session and an activity in which patrons look for geocaches in and around the library, or out in the community. Patrons can find caches, add to existing caches, or create new caches to be found by others. Use Geocaching.com to log your geocache locations (or look for any other geocaches that might already be in your area). Give each geocache location a nautical name and connect it with a fun fact about oceans or ocean animals. You can also make this into a contest where patrons who find all the geocache locations are entered for a big prize. A great multigenerational program, but younger children will need assistance to play.

Suggested runtime: 60–90 min per session.
