Beginning Orienteering Workshop with Friends of Turkey Creek Nature Preserve

About this event

Join the Vulcan Orienteering Club, the Jefferson County Greenways, and the Friends of Turkey Creek Nature Preserve for a Beginning Orienteering Workshop at Turkey Creek Nature Preserve. The workshop is open to anyone interested in learning how to navigate with a map and compass, from first-time participants to hikers, runners, families, and groups looking for an outdoor activity.

Orienteering is the sport of navigation, using a highly detailed map. Whether someone is an experienced hiker, competitive runner, or a family or group out for an activity in a park, this sport helps improve navigation skills each time.

Orienteering can gradually build map-reading skills from exploring a local city park full of obvious structures to navigating remote terrain with few, if any, man-made features. Click here to learn more and register!
