Description

Enoy a new outdoor sport and learn to use a map and a compass to find hidden markers along wooded trails. Orienteering, often described as physical chess and “cunning running,” is an activity that can be a race or an easy trail-walk in the woods. It can be done competitively or for recreation where you casually use the map to follow trails that lead to designated markers, or run through brush and up steep hillsides where there are no well-defined trails. In this class, you will learn how to use a map and a compass to find hidden markers in a wooded area. We will also cover variations of the sport, including traveling on a bike or finding the markers in the dark. All that is required is an inexpensive compass and a map to have fun in this class!
