Welcome
In orienteering, "the thinking sport", you use a map and compass to navigate a course through unfamiliar terrain. People of all ages enjoy orienteering as a leisurely walk in the woods or as a competitive cross-country race.
Newcomers are welcome at BAOC meets, which are held throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer beginners' courses suitable for both individuals and families. Learn more (http://baoc.org/faq/).
