About Checkpoint Challenges

Are you passionate about hiking or walking in the park but also looking to challenge your mind?

Checkpoint Challenges offers an unmatched outdoor adventure experience. Plot your unique course between checkpoints while working on your map reading skills!

Contemporary Orienteering...

Just like in classic orienteering, each course comprises a sequence of points on a map that must be visited sequentially. Participants determine their own routes between these checkpoints and eventually return to the Start. However, rather than using a full-size paper map, your smartphone will show only the current map segment with a built-in compass, progress tracking, and hints to help you stay on track.

You choose the time and the pace...

Our courses are available whenever you are, eliminating the need to wait for a club event. Participate competitively, with rankings for each leg of the course, or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or group of adventurers.

This was a really cool way to explore the park and it took me places I never would have gone otherwise!
Sophia
Did this solo and really enjoyed it. Going to take some friends out next time!
Dave
Yes, I got lost, but I was soon back on track! I loved the whole experience but especially the helpful warning when I got too far off course :-)

Aerobic exercise releases chemicals in the brain that foster the growth of new brain cells. And when you use a map and connect it to landmarks, you stimulate growth between brain cells.
