TRy oriEnteering
How do I get started?
The best way to try orienteering is to come out to a local event and try it. Newcomers are always welcome. Just show up and dress for the weather, including good footwear ( e.g runners, trail or hiking shoes).
No previous experience or special equipment necessary. Events are great for both individuals and families, for people out for recreation, or those looking for some challenge. UPCOMING EVENTS:
