Send off 2023 in style with two new souvenirs

It’s been an exciting year full of friendships, laughs, and wonderful memories. As 2023 comes to a close, we know that many more memories await us in 2024.

Rather than write off the past, we want to take a moment to reminisce on the moments—and people—that made this year so special. More than ever, the geocaching community has created a sense of connection. Whether it was designing caches during Maker Magic, cleaning up community spaces at a CITO Event, grabbing some popcorn for GIFF, or attending one of the dozens of global Mega-Events, geocachers were there, making connections and lifelong friendships.

We invite you to celebrate memories, friendships, and the geocaching community with two new geocaching souvenirs. It’s time to say “Farewell to 2023” and “Greetings from 2024” and start a whole new adventure!
