Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Armidale junior camp in April

Our first Bluebottles NSW junior squad camp for 2022 is from April 9-14 in Armidale

Expressions of interest are due in the next week to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. - this is not a commitment to attend but an indication you are keen, so we can give the accommodation a rough idea of numbers.

A rough program would be:
Apr 9-10 State League events
Apr 11-13 - orienteering training
Apr 14 - travel to Kingaroy in readiness for the 2022 Easter carnival

The camp is planned to be at NEGS, a boarding school. It will include dorm-style accommodation, and 2 meals a day provided by the school's dining room. While we will be able to take a good number of unaccompanied juniors, we will need a contingent of parent helpers and coaches to make this camp a success.

This camp is open to parents and juniors from all states. 

Any junior who would like to move up to Moderate courses is welcome to join the NSW junior squad - they have a lot of fun while improving their skills and fitness.
