What is Orienteering? Orienteering is a competitive form of land navigation. It is for all ages and degrees of fitness and skill, and all-weather. It provides the suspense and excitement of a treasure hunt. The object of orienteering is to locate control points by using a map and compass to navigate through the woods.

What to bring? All you will need to bring is a compass (if you do not have one, we can loan you one), and appropriate footwear to walk in the woods.

Event Details: The courses offered at IUP Co-Op Park will include Cross Country courses for beginner and advanced beginner and a Score course for the experienced. A cross country course involves finding a series of flags in a pre-specified sequence; a score course has a time limit. Come early if you plan to do more than one course.
