Orienteering at Camp Butterworth, Maineville, OH

Camp Butterworth is a Girl Scout camp, so it's not normally open to the public. It's one of my fave places to orienteer in our area because of the rolling topography. Plus, it's close to one of my fave bars in our area, (the Monkey Bar, which has a great deck on the Little Miami River) so it's perfect for an after-orienteering libation!

In orienteering, participants get a detailed map and use it to locate a series of "control points;" it's like a treasure hunt. Suitable for all ages! There will be SIX different courses of varying difficulty and length, so there's one that's perfect for everybody. Free instruction for beginners, and if you want to try using a compass, we'll loan you that for free, too.

You can start orienteering anytime between 11 am to 1 pm; rain or shine! Dogs are not allowed, except for certified service dogs.

Preregistration is recommended. Registration closes at 9 pm. on Friday, Nov 13. Link to registration form is:
