Orienteering Classes

Orienteering (Map and Compass Reading) – Sundays, November 10 and 17, and
Saturdays,November 16 and 23 at the Visitor Center at 1:00 p.m.
Orienteering classes consist of an indoor slide program that introduces maps and their components
as well as the orienteering compass that allows the user to determine the direction of travel. After
learning how to use the compass in conjunction with the map, participants are given the
opportunity to complete a short outdoor course. The outdoor course requires going off-trail in varied terrain so wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. Maps and compasses are provided for the day. The program is free but
class size is limited so reservations are required.
Please make your reservation by calling the Visitor Center at (301) 663-9388
