Women's only Map and Compass basics and Orienteering Course!

Details

Hey Sisters!
I put up an orienteering course at the South Boulder Rec center last summer for a Girls' Earth Skills day camp. Since it took several hours to design, we had a Meetup on compasses and did the course a week or so after that. I figure we may as well get some more use out of it, so I'm going to add some map work in along with basic compass use and then we can do the course!
So come on down for a little introduction to maps, and refresher/basic intro on compass use and then enjoy the fun of finding the various points located around the park! After some training you'll be given a route with headings and my step count to various points with tiny flags painted with symbols. Find as many as you can in a half hour or so using basic point-to-point navigation technique. I think orienteering courses are a blast, so I hope you like it too!
This is an in-person event, so please respect social distancing and wear masks when within 6 feet of each other. There is a bathroom for handwashing and there will be hand sanitizer available.
I hope to see you there!
