ORIENTEERING

GPS Orienteering: Participants will learn how to use a GPS and locate coordinates across site.

Photo Orienteering: Using a compass and a photo taken somewhere on site, participants must determine the bearing that the photographer was facing.

Scatter Orienteering: Using a map, teams must find control punches located around the property.
