EOOC Skills Development Camp
Last minute suggestion: bring some old newspapers to stuff in your wet shoes to dry them faster.
Registration for the skills camp is now CLOSED, but you can register-on-the-day for the Sunday afternoon forest event.
Update from the crew putting out controls: after Wednesday’s heavy rain, marshes are even wetter and there are some newly fallen trees; quite a few mosquitoes in the woods, but not too many in open field areas.
What: an orienteering skills development camp for club members of all ages (5 – 89) and all abilities – beginner, novice, intermediate, expert. There will be activities teaching orienteering skills to beginner, novice and intermediate orienteers. There will also be self-directed activities for advanced orienteers to practice their skills.
When: from 6pm Friday May 26 to 6pm Sunday May 28. Individual days also available.
Where: Cooking Lake Blackfoot Recreation Area, Waskehegan Trailhead with overnight accommodation at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre (52535 RR212).
