Why

Are you an able navigator in the great outdoors, on and off trails? Do you feel safe using a map to go somewhere new to you? Can you read a topographic map with ease? Do you get much use out of your compass? If your answer to any of these questions is "no", orienteering with New Mexico Orienteers can help you turn "no" into "yes".

Learn field navigation skills from expert coaches, then apply your new skills on one or more sport orienteering courses designed specifically to help you practice these skills.
