Our Mission is to:
Promote geocaching as a fun, family-oriented outdoor activity that increases awareness and appreciation of the environment and our parks and trails. Provide opportunities for participants to enjoy geocaching and to socialize with other geocachers. Educate land managers about geocaching and provide a stable conduit for geocachers to work with land owners. Increase awareness and support of geocaching through interaction with other outdoor groups and the public. Encourage low-impact geocaching and promote stewardship of our natural resources. Adopt and maintain local geocaching trails as group activity. Support “Cache In Trash Out” activities to help maintain parks and trail systems.
GEAA
The Geocaching Edmonton and Area Association, better known as GEAA, was formed in 2017 to promote and support geocaching in Edmonton and Northern Alberta, provide general information and education about geocaching, encourage newcomers, and share in the enjoyment of geocaching. We offer help to new geocachers, schools, community groups and Scouting/Girlguiding leaders. We are happy to help everyone, no matter their level of geocaching experience or the issue in concern. We also have some help resources on this site that you may find useful, especially if you're new to the game. The GEAA officers and directors are a group of volunteers, elected annually to carry out these objectives.
Geocaching (pronounced geo-kash-ing) is a worldwide high tech outdoor treasure hunting game that encompasses all of the above and much more. There are over 2 million geocaches hidden worldwide and over 5 million people who play the game.
