Orienteering: SMOC Maybury & Youth O Challenge

Using a map and compass, find your way to checkpoints marked with orange and white flags. Courses range from beginner-friendly on or near trails to expert navigation courses with points far off trail in the wilds of Michigan woods.

You choose your route - climb the hill or go around. Jump the stream or use a log. Run for the win or go for an afternoon hike - it's up to you!

Maybury will offer a Short course (approx. 1.5K), a Middle course (approx. 3K), and a Long (approx. 5K).

Short Course: will take you through open park areas.

Middle and Long: will take you through open park, trail, and white woods
