Permanent Orienteering courses at  the Strathcona Wilderness Centre.
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 set up three permanent orienteering courses which you will be able to try at your own time. For more information about how to use the map and the courses watch the two video. C
ourses can be done with Map Run app or by picking up a map from customer service (on-site) or download it below.
Download the maps here:
  • Course A (2.6km)
  • Course B (3 km)
  • Score O (24 controls)​
​​Important Safety Precautions:
Visit the AOA Safety site before you head out.
Possession of the maps does not imply permission to be on the land. Permission must always be obtained from the private and/or public landowners.  Note that the maps may be out-of-date and may not have been recently field-checked. New hazards may exist that are not shown on the map.
 You are responsible for assessing risks and managing your safety. Ensure that you are properly trained and aware of the risks before embarking on any unsupervised orienteering activity. Always carry a whistle, or a communication device, go with a "buddy", and obey all  local regulations and signs
Users’ liability waiver:

Use the map only for your own activities. No commercialized activities (or events) are allowed to use these maps. The users of any of the maps in Alberta waive all responsibility from  the ALBERTA ORIENTEERING ASSOCIATION (AOA), and their clubs and their  members from any loss of property or personal injury that may occur during the use of any of these maps.

Instructions:
​Watch this video to see how can you start with the permanent courses. It is easy and fun!
