The following
orienteering workshops, presentations
or education experiences are scheduled for 2019. 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.
