Want to spice up your running routine? Learn to read a map? Spend some time outside with likeminded people? Our Learn to Orienteer program could be for you!
Over a 3-week program, our coaches will help you learn and practice the skills needed to confidently take on an orienteering course. Come along and see where orienteering can take you!
You’ll learn:
- How to understand a detailed orienteering map and use a compass
- The orienteering skills you need to navigate from one point to another
- How to complete an orienteering course
Who: Anyone who wants to learn the basics of orienteering. Perhaps you did it on school camp or have done an event or two, and want to learn the skills in a fun and interactive way.
Note: juniors under 18 must have a parent/guardian present for the session, however, activities will be designed so that everyone can participate and learn together.

If you can't make it to all 3 sessions, come along to either 1 or 2 sessions for a reduced rate.
