What turned out to be a perfect October day started with temps in the middle-30s, and climbed to about 60, with cool breezes, mostly sun, and dry, near perfect orienteering conditions at Camp Manatoc and Camp Butler.
What a fantastic day for orienteering! A little cold, but not too bad, and the sun was out for part of it. In total, 43 people made it out to Camp Manatoc to enjoy courses at all levels.

Andreas Johansson, NEOOC Club Member, introduces the sport of orienteering in a shorter version of the original video.
Practice your O-skills even when you’re not out in the woods! The Maze-O will challenge your brain, and sense of direction while finding the shortest, or the fastest routes through the mazes.
