Orienteering is a sport where competitors use a map and a compass to find a series of checkpoints. There is no marked path, so participants must choose their own routes from one checkpoint to the next. This is often done in the forest, although it can also be done in parks, school campuses, city streets, etc. We will be participating in the North Texas Orienteering Association competition in Tyler, TX.

Event Address: Dangerfield State Park
We will be going to Dangerfield State Park for our annual swimming campout. If you have never been to Dangerfield then you will be in for a treat.

The best news is no motor boats are allowed and it has a really nice picnic area with plenty of space to spread out.
