International Geocaching Day is coming and it's time to get planning! There are two souvenirs available this year, and I intend to get both this time. First, find and log a geocache, attend an event or complete an Adventure Lab location from August 14-16 for the Finder souvenir. Second, hide a geocache and have it published from August 1-31 for the Hider souvenir. You can read the official announcement here .

So, I noticed that there haven't been any new treasure collections released lately, and now I know why - player feedback ! But hey, there's going to be a new collection released on July 28, and it will be available through September 13, so, kind of like a souvenir campaign. Something else to note, three collections will be retiring, and will only be available through December 31, 2026: Making Memories , Celebrating 25 years and Event mementos . So go get them while you can while we wait for more news on the upcoming treasures collection!

It's time for the June Solstice and out next souvenir opportunity! From June 20-22, 2026, log a find, attend an event or complete an Adventure Lab location to earn the souvenir. As always, you can read more about it on the official blog post .

I just happened to be looking today, I noticed that a new treasure collection has been released - "Maker Magic." This collection was released on 04/07/26 and has five treasures that can be earned with the following criteria: Traditional, Multiple, Mystery or Letterbox Size - any except none Favorite Points - minimum of 5 OR a regular event I can't tell you how behind I am on collecting treasures, thank goodness there isn't an expiration date on them!

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.
