Sessions will be modified to meet the different needs and skill levels of participants.
HERE’S HOW IT WILL WORK:
1. The beginners’ session will start at 3.45am and will go for an hour to 4.45pm.
2. More experienced arrive from 4.15pm. Session will finish on dusk.
For the more experienced, your activities and instructions will be there waiting for you! They will be adjusted week by week. There will be a focus on skills and drills rather than running a course.
You can start in your own time or work together with the group instructions.
If you are already orienteering at regular Orienteering ACT events, these sessions will give you the chance to meet and orienteer with women and girls who also love to run wild!
WHAT TO BRING:
A drink bottle, warm clothes to peel on and off as the weather and your body warm up/cool off, PLUS bring a smile, to share!
If you are at primary school you will need to bring a responsible adult, willing to share the fun. The responsible adult must stay.
Cost: (For 4 weeks of instruction).
$20 Members (+ booking fees) (individual or family)
$40 Non-member (+ booking fees) (individual or family)
(Sorry no refunds if you change your mind. No reductions if you come to fewer than 4 sessions. We are all volunteers, and our time is given for the love of it).
