What
Is It?
Orienteering is
a sport wherein participants
must navigate from one
point to another using
a map.
Orienteering has been
likened to a scavenger
hunt in the woods, but
it's much more than
that! Orienteering provides:
- Mental Challenges
- Fun
- Lifetime skills
- Physical Activity
- Excitement
The event:
In orienteering, participants
receive a map of an
area which shows a series
of sites to visit. Participants
develop strategies to
navigate from one site
to another.
The challenge:
Find the most efficient
route to all of the
locations and prove
you were there.
Proof of arrival:
In a regular orienteering
meet, participants use
a special pin-punch
located at each station
to punch a control card.
