Overview
Welcome to our new Kelowna training series: Advanced &
Intermediate Development (AID). These low-key orienteering training
sessions will happen every Wednesday evening at 6:00 at a different map
with a different training focus. Can't make the event time? We need
somebody to pick up control flags anytime the day after (Thursday) - get
in touch with David if you want this to be you.
Meeting Location:
End of Field Road - see map pin location at the bottom of the page.
Registration:
None. If you fit the requirements for attendance below, just show up!
Who this is for:
This is not for complete beginners. This is for for intermediates looking to get more time on maps
and become more comfortable in the forest, or those who are either
experienced orienteers wanting to get more training in. This low key
training series has no timing, but should be an enjoyable set of
orienteering at beautiful places around Kelowna.
Cost:
- Sage Orienteering Club membership is required.
- No fixed cost.
- The club incurs about ~$3 in expenses per participant per week. We encourage you to donate at some weeknight to help cover the insurance and printing costs.
