Five Techniques for Intermediate and Advanced Orienteers

  • Saturday, August 12, 2023

  • 10:00 - 11:00 a.m.

  • Champoeg Park  (before the meet)

  • For CROC members only

Orienteers have lots of tools and techniques to efficiently get to the control sites, and this workshop will explain five of the most popular techniques for intermediate and advanced orienteers. We’ll see collecting features, attack points, handrails, aiming off, and catching features on demonstration maps to explain the concepts. This is a “classroom” training meaning we’ll be sitting around a picnic table reading maps, and not traveling through the terrain. We will be outdoors. There will be a map exercise to explore best routes on several legs. 

This workshop is for people who have completed at least a Yellow (novice) level course. If you have done a course with a leg that stumped you, bring the map and we’ll put our heads together to find a good route.

This training is at Champoeg Park before the CROC meet, so you have the opportunity to apply these newly learned skills.

The training is a benefit to CROC members, and there is no charge.

Register online here before August 10. For questions, email trainer Anndy Wiselogle.
