So just what is orienteering?
Orienteering is for all ages and degrees of fitness and skill and provides the suspense and excitement of a treasure hunt.
The object is to locate control points by using a map and compass to navigate the outdoor terrain.
Orienteering began in Scandinavia in the 1800s. By 1919, it was a competitive sport in Sweden. It came to the United States in 1946 as a recreational activity and later became a competitive sport.
