Orienteering 

Welcome to Wellington College Orienteering

Orienteering is a sport that suits anyone interested in the outdoors. You will learn navigation and problem solving skills and get fitter by doing this activity.

It would particularly suit those interested in the outdoors in general, and particularly cross country runners and students keen on lateral thinking skill-based activities such as chess. The sport of orienteering also opens doors to the sport of adventure racing, in which New Zealand excels on the world stage.

SEASON: ​ Orienteering is predominantly a term 1 to 3 sport and most events are held locally on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings.  The season will start in February 2025 so register your interest now.
