Join Spirit in Action for a local Orienteering event on Saturday, May 10th at Battle Creek Regional Park in St. Paul. 

Fun for Adults and Kids too.

What is Orienteering: Orienteering is the skill of finding your way through a series of checkpoints on an unfamiliar course using a map and a compass. Typically a course is set in a wilderness area and the participants are timed as they complete it. More info found at www.mnoc.org

When: Saturday, May 10, 2008.  We will be carpooling from Minneapolis and interested participants can contact Bo Johnston to coordinate rides/pickups.

Directions: Battle Creek Regional Park is located at the eastern edge of St. Paul.  Take Insterstate 94 East through downtown St. Paul to McKnight Road. Take McKnight Road south and watch for the O-meet signs.

Cost:
Juniors Members (Under 20) $4.00
Adult Members $5.00
Non-members $8.00
PLUS
Compass rental is $1.00 a day. We also ask that you leave your car keys or an identification card as deposit until you return the compass. You may purchase an MNOC whistle to keep for $1.00. Due to hygiene reasons, we do not rent whistles.
