Welcome to Orienteering

If you like being outside and exploring nature, then this is the sport for you. Using a map and your powers of observation, you'll navigate through a course of pre-set checkpoints.

Beginners are welcome, and it is not unusual to see entire families orienteering, either together or on different levels of courses.

Cascade OC Jerseys!

Starting with our event at Fire Mountain on February 6th, Cascade Orienteering Club will be taking orders through March 14th for our brand new club jerseys, which feature our bold new competition design!

Welcome to our new web site!

As you've probably noticed, we've completely revamped our club web site. By doing this, we have a fresh look and feel, as well as new technical underpinnings that should give you more useful and up-to-date content. We know it might seem a bit disorienting at first, but please take the time to look around and we think you will like it. (The old website remains available, but will not be updated.)

If you have feedback or technical issues, please feel free to mail the club mailing list, or directly contact the webmaster or technical manager.
