A Beginner's Guide to Orienteering

4/2/2016 | Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park | Wildwood, MO

If you love the outdoors, exploring and map reading, then orienteering is for you! Orienteering is the sport of navigating through an unfamiliar area using a map and perhaps a compass. The object is to make your way through a series of points identified on a map and return to the finish line in the shortest amount of time possible. The route of your journey is up to you.

If this sounds interesting to you, then come and join Babler State Park Staff and the St. Louis orienteering club for a beginners guide to orienteering. The day will start inside the visitor center where everyone will learn more about orienteering. After the meeting, it’s time to see how you do on your first orienteering course!

Event times: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
