Orienteering by bike is a ton of fun and you don't have to be an expert to enjoy the trails at this camp. Come out for this not-too-common opportunity. For those who prefer to be on their feet, there will be a Score-O course or a beginner-level traditional course available. Something for everyone! Check out the details below.

***

STARTS: Check in begins at 11:00 am and starts run until 12:00 pm. (Everybody must be back to the start no later than 2:00 pm.) Feel free to arrive any time after 10:45 am.

COST: Maps are $5 each (pre-registered); $10 day-of (if available).

LOCATION: Camp Brady Saunders at the Cub Adventure Camp picnic pavilion. Look for the red & white arrow orienteering signs leading the way from the main entrance.

INSTRUCTION: 11:15am - 11:50pm

  • Instruction will be available during above times for beginners or those who would like some help to get started. We can also offer some tips to those who've been out a few times and want to advance their skills a bit.
  • See links at the bottom to some reference materials that you can review in advance in lieu of in-person instruction.

OTHER:

  • Helmets are required for those who are biking!
  • Bring your own compass or borrow one of ours (on a first-come basis). Be prepared to leave car keys as a deposit when borrowing.
  • Dress appropriately for the weather and for travel both on & off trail. You are strongly encouraged to bring water, sunscreen, and bug spray.
  • Feel free to post comments or contact one of the organizers if you have any questions!

*** Our meets are put on by volunteers & we could use your help. Please consider offering some of your time at this or an upcoming meet or for other help in running the club. ***

PRE-REGISTRATION & PAYMENT:
We require everyone to register on the Google form & pay for their maps in advance. This cuts down on the amount of time needed on event day for waiver signing & payments. It also guarantees you a map. Minors cannot participate without a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Register by Friday, April 10 at Noon to give us time to print maps and reserve one for you. Only a very limited number of extra maps will be available.

Please register and complete the waiver using the Google form link below. You will be shown payment info after registering there.

MEET DETAILS:
3 courses to choose from:

  • White (Beginner) - A traditional foot orienteering course that is completed in the numerical order indicated on the map. Great for first-timers & practicing your skills.
  • Score-O (Novice/Intermediate) - A foot course with a 90-minute time limit with penalties if over time. Find as many of the novice- and intermediate-level locations as you can in whatever order seems the best. Be sure to bring a way to keep track of your time!
  • Bike-O (Novice/Intermediate) - Bike orienteering on a course completed in numerical order. Mountain and gravel bikes are appropriate for these trails. Helmets are required.
