Cave Capers
August 20 to August 24
Welcome to the 73rd annual Cave Capers! We are back for four days of caving, community, and fun. We’ve got led cave trips running from Thursday all the way through Sunday, so there are plenty of chances to get underground. Saturday night is our big banquet, featuring Smokin Inda Geto's famous BBQ. Followed by our guest speaker Jerry Lewis. We’ll have live music from Ron Adams keeping the energy up all four nights. Can’t wait to see you there!
More InfoThe Central Ohio Grotto was founded in 1952. We have a rich tradition of cave exploration and are committed to the ideals of the NSS.
