PRIVATE NAVIGATION CLINICS

All our clinics are designed to develop orienteering specific skills, on specialized orienteering maps (using standardized symbols, colours, and shading) with a goal of applying them in a race environment, such as DONTGETLOST Raid races, adventure running events, or adventure racing. As such, we do not cover GPS skills or backcountry hiking techniques (eg. triangulation, UTM coordinates, magnetic declination, etc.).

​

Clinics include: use of an orienteering thumb compass, specialized maps, guided instruction, plenty of practice, access to a self-paced YouTube tutorial playlist (beginner & intermediate levels), and clinic handouts.

BOOKING A CLINIC​

Use the "CLINIC INQUIRY" button to contact our coordinator, Emil, about setting up a clinic of your choosing. Tell us which level of navigation learning you're interested in, a possible date that would work for you, and how many people are in your group. All in-person field sessions require a minimum of four participants and have a maximum of 10, so we can maximize everyone's experience and ensure your group's safe enjoyment.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT (all clinics)

Compass (or borrow one of ours), sun screen, bug spray, running shoes or hiking shoes, hiking attire. If specific equipment is required a list will be sent to you before your clinic.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

We will refund 80% of registration fees if cancellation notice is received within 48 hours of start time. After this time no refund is offered.

In the case of clinics being cancelled due to weather warnings, the clinic will be rescheduled. In the case of cancellation due to an insufficient number of registrants, or inconvenient reschedule date, you'll have the option of applying your clinic fee to a future DGL race / event or the next scheduled clinic - if neither of these options are viable then a refund will be offered.

 

​TEAM CLINICS

We can tailor clinics specifically for teams looking to race together or to sharpen navigation skills at a higher level. Please inquire.
