Bata (AID) Kelowna

Organizer: David Bakker (Event Director)

Map: Bata

Updates:

Sept 4: Registration is now open! Please register using the link below.
Sept 7: We will have a beginner-friendly course for this event!

Overview:

Welcome to our fall Kelowna training series: Advanced & Intermediate Development (AID). These low-key orienteering training sessions will happen every Monday evening at 6:00pm at a different map with a different training focus. Can't make the event time? We need somebody to pick up control flags sometime later in the week - get in touch with David if you want this to be you. Last year we actually had several different groups doing these as self-directed events later in the week, so that can be an option as well if you can't make the scheduled time.

Meeting Location:

A few kilometres up the well maintained Bata forest service road - see map pin location at the bottom of the page.

There are no public washroom facilities anywhere in the vicinity, although the entire map has good cell service. There is a lovely, hidden trail network here!

Registration:

Registration is now open at the following Interpodia 2M Events link:

https://2mev.com/#!/events/kelowna-aid-2024

Please register as soon as possible so that we know roughly how many participants to expect and can print enough maps. Registration closes Sunday, September 8, at midnight. We will print a few extra maps, so if you don't register in time we may still have a map for you.

Who this is for:

Update: We will have a beginner-friendly course for this first activity!

Unfortunately, this series is generally not for complete beginners, but if you have been out orienteering a few times this should be ok. This is for intermediate level orienteers looking to get more time on maps and become more comfortable in the forest, or those who are 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. Donations can be made either by Interac E-Transfer or cash.
