Introduction to Orienteering


ID : 18860   

« back to classes page
Learn to find your way to various checkpoints with the aid of a map and compass. Orienteering truly is a sport for everyone. Some courses are on paved paths, and some are on more rugged terrain, all the way to bushwhacking courses. Reading a map with a compass is also a fun skill to learn. You'll join instructor Matt Plutz in the classroom for some basic introductions to map and compass reading. Then you'll have a chance to practice your newly acquired skills on a field course at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, Illinois.

Activity level: For the field portion of class, plan to walk 3 to 4 miles. Much of this will be on uneven ground. To best prepare, wear comfortable shoes and pants because you may walk through some areas of tall grass or brush. Bring a water bottle. Class will be held in rain but not major storms.
