NoVAGO volunteers have been sharing the basics of geocaching through Geocaching 101 events at local libraries since 2024.
Now, in 2026, they’re taking geocaching education to the next level with advanced courses—starting with two hands-on workshops in January.
Log your will attends to enable the hosts to setup the meeting room with enough tables and seating.

The event page summarizes: Having trouble with puzzle caches? There are a lot of them out there. These pesky little devils seem to get filed in one of two places by most cachers. There are them that loves ’em and them that hates ’em. If you are in the latter category (or in the former and just want to practice), this may be the event for you.
I’ve got both events on my calendar. Can’t wait!
