The Bethel Chamber of Commerce is inviting the community to a World Orienteering Day event at Rockwell Elementary School in Bethel on May 23 from 5-7 pm.
This free event is open to general public, all ages!
How does it work? Participants use a map and compass to navigate a maze and to find checkpoints. Orienteering is a navigation sport which may be set in a forest or even local parks, school/college campuses, and city streets.
Participants find checkpoints using only a map and compass. The fastest to visit all the checkpoints in the correct order wins. Events are suitable for all ages and courses range from short and easy to long and strenuous.
