Learn how you, your family, and even friends, can explore the parks in a new way. Learn how to find all the new geocaches hidden for this event!

Always a Janboree Favorite, we will be returning to Mia's Restaurant for lunch. Food purchase is NOT required. Parking could be challenging at it is located downtown so plan ahead. Food and beverage purchases will be on your own.
WEATHER CANCEL? Are we geocachers or what? Will we cancel for snow? This event will be held snow or no snow, extreme cold or snow or sun. It just adds to the fun.
I must express a HUGE Thank you to the local geocachers who wanted to see this event continue and are working behind the scenes hiding a series of new geocaches in and around Waukesha in time for this event. The geocaches typically publish on Friday evening thanks to the efforts of our local reviewers who work with us to make it all happen. A bookmark list will be created after they all publish. If you would like to hide a cache for Janboree, please reach out to me.
