Geocaching with Woo

Blue Switch Day is approaching, and so is the opportunity to earn two new souvenirs! As usual, there is a souvenir for finding and logging a geocache, attending an event or completing an Adventure Lab location from May 1-3, 2026, but like last year, there is an additional souvenir available if you have a geocache published between May 1-31, 2026. If you haven't already had a geocache published by now, you'll also earn the 2026 Hider souvenir (**Bonus!**). Learn more on the official blog post .

Geocaching is bringing back Maker Magic! Whether it's 3D printed or handcrafted, show off what you've got while attending a Maker Magic event from April 9-30 to earn the souvenir. At the last Maker Magic event I attended, I brought a PVC cryptex that I made for the Creation Celebration back in 2019 - it was a great show-and-tell moment. Check out the official blog post for more information, or for guidelines if you'd like to host your own official Maker Magic event.

It's almost time for the March Equinox! Get your souvenir by logging any geocache, event or Adventure Lab location between March 19-22, 2026. Check the official blog post for more.
