The following
orienteering workshops, presentations
or education experiences are scheduled for 2018. Those that
are open
to the public are noted; others are to address special
groups. These activities are almost always FREE for the participants; any cost is noted

Workshops are teaching experiences in which the use of Map and Compass
are taught and an orienteering exercise of some sort follows. As
the year goes on, more workshops will be added to this table; check
