How Do I Get Started? Just follow these easy steps to learn how to get involved in the fun and challenging sport of orienteering. 1. Sign-in To get to the Orienteering Site, simply follow the directions given here or from the sponsoring Club. Once you are near to the site, follow the orange and white "orienteering" signs to the start. You may sign-in on the day of the event anytime between 10am and 1pm. 2. Get your punch card, map and clue sheet. When you sign in, you will be given a punch card. You use this at each checkpoint (called "controls"). When you find a control in the woods, it will have a punch attached to it. You will punch your card at each control verifying that you actually found the marker. Once you have your card, proceed to the start area. An official will take your card and assign you a start time. You will also be given your map and clue sheet. Do not look at the map and clue sheet until it is time for you to begin! (If it is your first time, of course, look at the map! Ask questions! Ask for help! Ask for explanations! There are always plenty of helpful people at an orienteering event.) 3. Go! When your start time is announced, GO! <--- Click here to go back          Click here to continue --->
