What is orienteering? A super cool activity - part puzzle, part nature exploration - that uses a detailed map to navigate through the woods to find hidden checkpoints along the way. This event is a beginner-friendly adventure to introduce kids and adults to real navigation skills while exploring the outdoors together.

Description:

Join us for aerial climbing, zip lining and obstacle courses in the trees! We go as a group every Spring and Fall and it’s become a group favorite! All ages over 6 are welcome to participate (parents included!) Ages 5 and 6 are permitted to climb as long as an adult is climbing with them. Please keep in mind height, not just age, as there are some obstacles where an adult or tall friend is needed to reach clip or unclip. There are all levels of challenge from beginner to advanced and elite. Great for all ages (parents who have participated will tell you it's a blast!) but children ages 5 and 6 MUST have an adult climb with them. Children older than this may climb without an adult, but keep in mind any shorter child may need help reaching to clip and unclip themselves and would be best accompanied by a tall friend or adult

These trips fill up fast so make sure to send payment once you receive your invoice to reserve your spot!
