First-timer information: 

● Which course and what do I do first? Register for Explorer, then attend the 8:15 instructions before you head out. Look for the person in the orange vest when you arrive — they will direct you to check-in where you’ll get your timing chip (epunch). You MUST check in before going on the course. 

● Watch our Welcome to Orienteering video 

● What time should I arrive? You can arrive about 15 minutes before first-timer instructions. Check-in only takes a few minutes. 

● How do I learn to orienteer? We’ll teach you on site. We offer free basic instruction in map and compass reading. Show up for the instructions at 8:15. 

● What do I need to bring? What should I wear? Courses are set for you to stick to paved trails, sidewalks, and mowed grass areas and so you can wear shorts and have a pleasant summer outing. Orienteer Kansas will provide the map (with pre-drawn course) and rental compasses are available. 

● What time will I start? You will start at staggered times (not all at once) any time after the instructions. 

● How long will this take? Approximately 30 minutes for most people (60 minutes maximum). You are welcome to stay out for a shorter time, whatever is comfortable for you.
