nbsgmc Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would like to have a group of caches set up for a community festival. I would brief a group and educate them about Geocaching. How do I hide caches, get them published, but hide them for use at an event. Do I create an event cache? just hide them? It may be 12 caches total. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

I would contact your local Volunteer Reviewer and run it by them. Sometimes caches placed for events are not allowed to be published as "official" caches, and other times there are ways to make that happen. As for the Event Cache itself, take a look around at other Event Cache pages and glean the things you can use from them. Contact local cachers and ask for advice, too. And, don't let yourself get too stressed out about making what sounds like your first event be a huge, smashing success. It will be what it will be, and your first try will teach you a ton about how to do it next time. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 There is one small problem -- Event cache guidelines: #4. An Event Cache should not be set up for the sole purpose of drawing together geocachers for an organized geocache search. Now, if you were to change that to something like "Learn to Geocache" or something like that, it should be fine. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think he is planning on introducing caching to a group not gather cachers. Published caches are available to everybody not just your class. You could hide them and not publish then pick up afterwards. If you wanted to publish them that day after your event you could ask the reviewer to do that. I put out five for a group class at a convention and had the reviewer publish the morning we went out. You can't create an event that is. to open to all so just do the class. Quote Link to comment
