17. Orienteering

Beginner

• Learn about orienteering. A good place to start is OrienteeringUSA.org.
• What are a few of the basics you learned?
• Make a list of gear you'll need for a successful orienteering adventure.

Intermediate

• Are there any orienteering clubs in your area? If you're unsure where to start, use the club search function on OrienteeringUSA.org.
• If joining a club interests you, find out when their next event/meeting is and what it takes to participate.
• If you'd rather be independent, plan an orienteering event for yourself and at least two people and share some of the details of your plan.

Expert

• Gear up and get out there! Attend a club orienteering event or make the one you planned official.
• How did it go? Will you continue the sport in the future? If so, share something important that you learned, and what you might do differently next time.
