Orienteering: A Great, Outdoors Scandi Adventure for ALL!
Welcome to the LAST session of the 2024 orienteering season in Columbus, Ohio, fellow Scandinavians! Check your calendars! Central Ohio Orienteers (COO) will have this event on Saturday, December 14 CORRECT DATE!!!! (Three Creeks Metro Park, Groveport, 43215).
COO's website is here: https://www.centralohioorienteers.org/
Always a good idea to check there for last minute info, like verifying the start locations in the parks.
Brain Benefits: Time magazine - and other news outlets - reported on a study specifically done of orienteering and how good it is for our brains. It makes us use so much of our brain to figure out where we are and how to get to the next place we want to go. Orienteering, for sure, gets us out into nature, outside of our daily routines.
