WELCOME! Learning to use a map and compass together for orienteering/ land navigation can be a challenging albeit rewarding experience. C.M. Crockett Park's orienteering course for beginners is designed to be fun, informative and user friendly. The course focuses on the basic fundamentals: basic map reading using a custom park map; types of compasses; features of the lensatic compass; use of a lensatic compass; use of a map protractor; followed by an orienteering/ land navigation practical exercise. The course is designed for individuals, families, or groups. The terrain is of moderate grade, but you can expect to traverse some hills and to go through brush areas. The original course was laid-out by an Eagle Scout years ago, and has recently been verified and updated with compass, GPS, and the latest mapping software Ages 15 and under must have an adult chaperone. Chaperones must also register. NEW Please note: Registration fees may apply for events listed on this calendar.
