Land Navigation Day Trip at Seidman Park
Saturday, November 21, 2026
10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Off Campus
Students
Join us at Seidman Park for some land navigation practice (navigating using a map and compass)! The Seidman Park permanent orienteering course contains 14 checkpoints marked by wooden posts with numbers that match those on the map. The park is mostly wooded with some small hills and fun obstacles to maneuver around. Estimated travel is about 3-5mi.
No experience necessary! We plan to provide hands-on lessons in basic compass use and map reading for those that want it, then work as a group to navigate as much of the course as we can in the allotted time. There will be an option for those with more experience to navigate the course on their own, if desired.
Cost: Free
Map and Compass will be provided. Feel free to bring your own compass if you have one.
Participants will be responsible for their own transportation but we are happy to help facilitate carpools for anyone who needs it (as indicated on the RSVP form).
Registration is open: Register here!
