On Sunday, January 23, 2022, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM, members of the Greater Phoenix Orienteering Club and the City of Buckeye Parks and Recreation Department will present a clinic teaching basic navigation concepts used in orienteering. The clinic is offered outdoors at Sundance Park, southwest of the intersection of South Rainbow Road and West Lower Buckeye Road in Buckeye. (see directions). Participants will learn important techniques to navigate with a map and compass. While GPS receivers provide an easy way for people to navigate, conditions sometimes make the GPS units unreliable or unusable (navigating in deep canyons, dead batteries, etc.) Navigation techniques used in orienteering are an invaluable complement to navigating with a GPS receiver.
Additional information concerning our Beginner's Orienteering Training is found here.
NOTE: PRE-REGISTRATION is REQUIRED.
