Orienteering is a sport that exercises your mind as well as your body.
The challenge is to read a detailed topographic map and figure out the best way to get yourself from point A to point B and then to point C… and so on, while you climb hills, cross streams, choose trails and take compass bearings. But, you can enjoy orienteering at any pace!
We host events that can be enjoyed on foot, on bike, in a canoe or kayak, that take place in the woods, as well as on city streets.
See the Event Posts at the bottom of the page!
At each event there are navigation course levels from absolute beginner to advanced. Courses can be enjoyed by individuals, families and larger teams. While orienteering is historically an individual sport, we simply want you to enjoy it at your comfort level.
