What is Orienteering? It's like a treasure hunt in the woods using a map to find controls (box shaped flags hanging from trees). We usually have 3 courses: White/easy ~2 miles all controls on trails, Yellow/medium ~3 miles controls can be seen from trail, and Orange-Blue/hard ~4-5 miles with all controls hidden in the woods. You can compete as an individual or a team (usually 2-3 people). For more info, see our Fact Sheet or email Glen (gmalings@gmail.com).

Upcoming Events
Sunday June 12, 2022
CAUMSETT STATE PARK
3 Score-Os - 1, 2, & 3 hours, all ending at 2pm, (and maybe a White course), refreshments & awards to follow to wrap up the spring season.
In a Score-O, you try and get as many points as you can. 2 penalty points for every minute over the time allotted. The harder and further the control, the more points.
Please pre-register with Glen at gmalings@gmail.com or text 516-477-0852 by the day before to get a start time and then arrive a half-hour early to register, plan your route, and ask questions.
