Summer has arrived and so have the mosquitoes. Vegetation remains low, and visibility is still good. Most of the course is remarkably dry, and many of the seasonal drainages are completely dry.
- Starts from 5 pm to 7 pm. Finish by 9 pm
- Please be aware of wildlife and other trail users. Assume any moose may have newborn calves nearby and therefore be especially protective. Bear spray recommended. Signs of bears were spotted during course design and setup.
- Bring your punch stick, compass, and whistle.
The White, Yellow, and Orange courses should offer a pleasant experience for younger participants as they navigate the trails around the Campbell Creek Science Center. The Green and Red courses are a little on the long side but should run quick, as many of the controls offer short attack points off of trails.
Courses lengths:
- White – 8 controls, 1.9 km
- Yellow – 11 controls, 2.5 km
- Orange – 13 controls, 4.5 km
- Green – 13 controls, 5.7 km
- Red – 16 controls, 7.6 km
