Annual Westmoreland 3 for 1 orienteering event

Co-Sponsored by Hudson Valley Orienteering

Our Orienteering Events

Rain or shine, Westmoreland Sanctuary partners with Hudson Valley twice a year to bring you a spring and fall orienteering meet. Orienteering combines the terrain of the outdoors with the thrill of a scavenger hunt. Navigate through Westmoreland’s woods, off-trail, using only a map and compass. Enter as an individual, family or group!
