Bigfoot Hunt Orienteering

A compass always points north, but how do you use it to figure out where to go? If you’ve always wanted to learn how to use a compass to get from one place to another, this workshop is for you!

A simple progression of skills will teach you how to use a compass to find a bearing (direction) and travel towards that bearing.

We'll add to the fun by finishing with a hunt through the fields, forests, and trails of the Glade Run property, using your new compass skills to follow clues to find Bigfoot!

This activity is ideal for adults, teens, and kids 8 and older, who can be on their feet for about an hour and a half and walk about a mile over that time, sometimes on uneven terrain. Participants will work in pairs to follow the clues to bigfoot after the instruction time. (groups of 3 or 4 can also work)

No map and compass experience or “sense of direction” are necessary, but patience, attention to detail, and basic ease with numbers and markings are helpful. Compasses to borrow for the day will be provided.

A minimum of 7 registrations by May 30th is required in order for this event to be held.

Late registrations (within one week of the event) can be made as long as the event has met the minimum number of participants.

Maximum number of participants is 20.
