We’ll start with a brief introduction to orienteering, covering essential skills and strategies. After the lesson, we’ll break into smaller groups based on the distance you’d like to hike. Whether you’re looking for a quick 1 to 3 mile stroll or you’re up for a more challenging 10 mile adventure, there’s a group for you! This way, everyone can choose the pace and distance that suits them best and fully enjoy the experience. If you have a compass bring it along. If not, there will be compasses available for you to use. Since we’ll be bushwhacking off the trails, tick protection is a must. Bring water and a snack.
