CRLS will be represented by 6 Oteam members at this years Nationals!
Orienteering, along with many other sports, was represented at GiSN by the CRLS Oteam & coach, including multi-sport members Betsy Dicke, '28, & Amélie Valenzuela-Melzer, '26, as well as Yulian Keutsch, '26, and Navigation Games, an educational non-profit located in Cambridge. Hundreds of young athletes explored new sports with coaches, CRLS team members, and 60+ local league representatives, supported by the City of Cambridge (Cambridge Recreation & Cambridge Women’s Commission). Every participant even received a free swim pass!

Orienteering has definitely been beneficial to my [volleyball] play, as I am more level headed.

Community is at the core of the O-Team at CRLS and in Orienteering more broadly. It is a central part and we actively support and foster it's development. Come be a part of the community, drawing on it and sharing all you bring.
Developing awareness of feedback from the body, mind, environment and those around us is vital. We work to grow our awareness and ability to use the information without judgement, allowing us to be more responsive and skillful.
Life is iteration. We build on our ability to take in the feedback and apply it. Then repeat. Orienteering provides a rich, open framework, an O-life lab, to grow and test these transferable life skills and gain embodied experiential knowledge of self, environment and others.
The site receives ongoing revision and will continue to be a work in progress.
Thank you for your kind understanding and any feedback.
