Permanent Courses are specifically designed for those who are new to orienteering and are available to explore year-round and on your own time. Each Permanent Course map contains 20-40 checkpoints (depending on the park) which are grouped into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced courses, so you can explore whichever route suits your capabilities. These high-quality maps also include orienteering features such as contours, vegetation, and roads/trails, along with a 'clue sheet' which will help you in navigating to the various points. Once you've tried your skills on one of these Permanent Courses, we'd love for you to take the next step and join us at one of our awesome orienteering events!
