We have made it out three times so far this year. Well, the boys have and I had to miss one. It's a great way to explore some of Edmonton's amazing parks and enjoy the beautiful summer weather we've been having lately!

There are always snacks & water provided by the Orienteering Club and volunteers at the end of the night. I think that's Dude's favourite part. Especially when there are Oreos. Also yes, sometimes the flags are ridiculously easy to find!

We are lucky to live in a city that prides itself on making sure its River Valley is accessible to everyone. Most if not all of the parks we explore while Orienteering are on the river, and I will definitely give the City Parks Department props on keeping the trails well-maintained. Every time I walk down here I am so energized, and happy to live in such a beautiful place!
Any of you ever been Orienteering?
What sets your city apart from the rest?

You should try Geocaching if your little dude is not so keen on orienteering. Its high tech orienteering with the added bonus of a treasure hunt. My boys still complain about walking but the search for the treasure at the end always makes them smile!
