TRY ORIENTEERING EVENT
When: Saturday June 17, 2023 11:00 AM 1:00 pm start
Where: Pass Powderkeg Ski Lodge
Come out for a free -TRY IT!- to see what orienteering is all about.
Please sign up (free) so that we know you are coming, and how many maps we need to print.
What to expect at the Try it event?

You will receive some brief instructions and you can try a couple of learning activities.
You will get a map that you can use for a self-led map-walk/run along a beginner orienteering course. All of this would take around 1 hour.
This is a family event. These are self-led activities for all ages. You are welcome to bring the whole family but parents must stay with their children.
There will be two courses: one for kids and those new to orienteering, and one for the more experienced.
We will have instructors to help you get started. No previous experience is necessary

Why should you try orienteering?

Engages the mind & body with an emphasis on fun
Builds competence and confidence to be outdoors
Teaches navigation and map reading skills
Gets you moving, outdoors, with plenty of smiles

PERMANENT COURSES
We are setting up permanent orienteering courses at Pass Powederkeg , which you will be able to try at your own time. Maps will be available for pick up at the ski lodge or at Spry

Why Join us?
Our goal is to introduce orienteering to
Crowsnest Pass communities,
where everyone is welcome and
has a chance to develop competence,
confidence and motivation to be
active outdoors.

We are grateful for the ParticipAction Community Challenge to help us organize free orienteering events.
The Community Challenge is helping to level the playing field by reducing barriers to
physical activity and sport and building stronger and healthier communities.
