Leap Day Souvenirs

It only happens every four years. It gives us 366 calendar days which means we all have one extra day to go geocaching. So of course, Groundspeak are celebrating with a souvenir, actually, make that two souvenirs!

The first souvenir can only be earned on Leap Day itself, February 29, by attending a geocaching event. The other souvenir can be earned all weekend long (February 27-29) by getting outside and finding a geocache.

We have a list of all the events happening on Leap Day on our website here to make it easy for you to find one near you. No event nearby? Maybe you should be hosting one then.

CITO Weeks 2016
Cape Town 2016 - Mega Shopping Time!

CITO Weeks 2016

Cache In Trash Out® is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002, geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks and other cache-friendly places. Through these volunteer efforts, we help preserve the natural beauty of our outdoor resources!

Geocachers around the world celebrate International Cache In Trash Out weeks annually by hosting and participating in Cache In Trash Out Events in their local area. Events might be focused on litter clean-up, removal of invasive species, revegetation efforts or building trails. Together, we make an enormous positive impact. Did we mention that we also have a bit of fun while we're at it?

The 14th Annual Cache In Trash Out Weeks are scheduled for April 16-24 and September 17-25. Watch our website for the details of CITO events as they are published.

No nearby CITO yet? Maybe you should be hosting the one in your area then.
