Find Your Way - Orienteering
Orienteering is a competitive racing sport that all JRHS NJROTC Cadets have the ability to participate in. Consisting of 3 simple tools, students are expected to navigate any terrain to complete a timed course of points quicker than their peers. In orienteering, students will gain a mix of cardiovascular athletic abilities, quick logical thinking, and navigation skills that will be able to serve them in real world applications.
The Orienteering Team is an Non-Cut team of NJROTC Cadets only. We take on all cadets willing no matter the previous knowledge and build them up to be successful Orienteers. During competitions, we will be able to take a varying amount of cadets based on the competitions allowed entry. We take into account 2 factors when selecting a competition team, Skill and Seniority. Ultimately however we aim to allow every cadet the ability to participate in at least 1 competition throughout the school year.
Our Course(s):
During our practices, we will be running courses around Robious Landing Park, with its simple terrain but woody groves it will help build basic navigation skills in new orienteers.
