Two Ways to Explore

Foodie Trail

Visit participating pizza and ice cream stops, make a minimum purchase of $5 per person at each stop, and check in through your digital pass.

Geocaching Trail

Search for hidden Skippy geocaches throughout Seneca County. Scan the Bandwango QR code inside each cache to count your find.

Even Skippy Loves Prizes

Complete the foodie trail, the geocaching trail, or both. Each adventure has its own reward!

Business location check-ins earn points toward the Hat prize, which can be viewed in the Rewards section of the mobile pass. Passholders will need 500 points to redeem the hat. Geocache location check-ins do not earn points. Instead, once a passholder checks in at 25 geocache locations, a hidden prize will automatically unlock. After completing the 25th geocache check-in, the passholder will receive a message letting them know that a new location has been added to their pass, where they can redeem their geocache coin prize.
