A third grade class from Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary School came to our EMPO World Orienteering Day at Pleasant Valley Farms. I wish I could express the excitement of the kids as they did a map hike of a white course and then challenged each other on a short sprint course using e-punch. The weather cooperated, the kids were great, the teachers want to continue with orienteering – a truly successful and rewarding day. In addition to this class, a homeschooled student did two challenging courses, a new adult enjoyed trying the sport for the first time, and some of our regulars liked having another opportunity to do some orienteering. --Sue Hawkes-Teeter White/Yellow Emma Zelenak 29:27 Eric Kuck 65:19 Orange Emma Zelenak 139:09 Green Eric Hamilton 117:01 Red Frank Boscoe 59:03 Splits for the courses may be found on Attackpoint.org . |
