Orienteering Meet: Raid the Sanctuary
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 05/28/2023
Orienteering is a fun outdoor activity in which you run (or walk) a pre-determined course through the woods, by navigating to certain locations on your map using only a map and compass to guide you. These certain locations are called “control locations.” Once you reach the control location, you will use your “stick” (an electronic memory device) to record your time at that specific location. Your time is recorded at the end by a computer and a winner of the race is determined.
This can be as competitive as you want; from a nice relaxed stroll in the woods, to making your competitors eat your dust! It is enjoyed by kids, families, groups, individuals of all ages. Rain or shine, Westmoreland Sanctuary partners with Hudson Valley twice a year to bring you a spring and fall orienteering meet. Orienteering combines the terrain of the outdoors with the thrill of a scavenger hunt. Navigate through Westmoreland’s woods, off-trail, using only a map and compass. Enter as an individual, family or group!
Register ahead of time! Same-day registration is not guaranteed.
