ORIENTEERING

comes to

Dade Battlefield State Park

April 11, 2013

Twenty-eight students in the South Sumter High School NJROTC program participated in a day of orienteering competition at Dade Battlefield Historical State Park

The morning event: Team Score Orienteering

Teams of four divided up and locate sixteen control points in as little time as possible

Some teams set off faster than others.However in orienteering it isoften better to be careful and know exactly where you are going.

One control point found…

… then on to the next one

When part of the team had completed their assignment they waited for the rest of the team to return before they could check in

As the Score Orienteering wrapped up, teams checked in and headed to a lunch break. The day included a lesson on the history of the area around the time of the Indian Wars.

The afternoon relay event was hotly contested with seven teams vying to find controls on new courses.

Beautiful setting

Orienteers could see and cheer their team mates coming to the finish

The WINNERS!

Every student and volunteer received a souvenir certificate:
