WISCONSIN GEOCACHING ASSOCIATION'S

20th year!

2022 WGA Fall Campout

September 17-18th 2022

Bigfoot Beach State Park - Lake Geneva, WI

Your Wisconsin Geocaching Association is proud to host the annual WGA Fall Campout. 

This year it will be located at Bigfoot Beach State Park in Lake Geneva, WI.  

Note a Wisconsin State Park sticker or daily pass is required to attend the event.

Make sure you put this cache on your watchlist, as there will invariably be updates for the event.

 Camping

 If you need to make a campsite reservation, head over to the DNR reservation website.  It is not a requirement to camp (but it'll be a lot of fun!) If you are seeking other accommodations, check out the Lake Geneva area for a number of hotels and other accomodations.

 Nametags

As a WGA member, if you want a laminated name badge, head over to the forums and get your name on the list.  If you’re not a member, don’t worry, you can sign up for free at www.wi-geocaching.com.

WGA Apparel

2022 WGA  apparel will be sold at this event.  Items are limited.  Once they are gone, they are gone, so buy them while you can.

Grill out and Potluck Lunch on Saturday!

As a thank you to our members, we will be supplying hot dogs, brats and burgers for our members.  Please let us know what you'd like in your will attend log.  We will also have a potluck for lunch on Saturday! Using the first letter of your last name please bring the following items:

Last name A-H: salad, vegetable or fruit

Last name I-P: chips or snacks

Last name Q-Z: cookies or dessert

Pancake Breakfast on Sunday!

The WGA will once again be hosting a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning.  However due to stacking rules by GroundSpeak, we cannot create another event.  Please indicate on your “will attend” if you will be attending the breakfast as well, to ensure we have enough caching fuel for everyone.

Breakfast cost: $6 per adult (13 years and older), $3 per child (6-12 years old), free to kids under 6 years of age.  Note that geocachers may attend and participate in the social activities for free, but you must pay for breakfast to eat.

Breakfast includes:

Pancakes…. Lots of them.

Breakfast sausage (a reasonable limit will be placed on to control costs).

Beverage of your choice, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, orange juice and milk.

Fresh fruit such as bananas and oranges.
