Orienteering

We went to Camp Arnes. We did a whole bunch of activities but we thought that we learned the most from Map Orienteering. At Map Orienteering we were given a map and were told to go find wooden plaques that had numbers and symbols on them. On the back of our maps there was a symbol sheet. Once we found a plaque that was on recorded on our map we would mark the symbol down on the symbol sheet. There were 4 different sheets that you can take. They all have 25 different plaques that you have to find. You were challenged to find all of your numbers in an hour and a half.  Orienteering means that you can find something or a place with a map or a compass. The procedure to follow if you encounter an obstacle in your path is to Look the map over again or Look around your surroundings and check not just where it is exactly supposed to be.

It was fun to find our way around the camp and we learned about mapping!  We had a lot of fun and hope that we can go back again soon. Thank you Camp Arnes!
