Lake Herman Recreation Area is in the grassy hills above the Carquinez Strait. This will be BAOC's fifth event at this venue. With its fairly open terrain and modest hills by Bay Area standards, Lake Herman is a lot less intimidating than many of our locations. So, if you have been thinking of moving up to a more advanced level, or if you have been trying to get your kids or neighbors or co-workers to try our sport, this is a great place to do that.

Registration for the event will be in Benicia Community Park. (Driving directions are below.)

Veteran course setter Petra Sundstrom is designing some fun, challenging courses, taking advantage of the terrain, and no doubt throwing in a wrinkle or two to ensure there will be a fun mix for both beginners and advance orienteers. The course details are below.

We also invite (i.e., urge) you to volunteer! Choose from setup, registration, beginner clinics, starts, or control pickup. Most of these tasks require little or no experience (and training is provided). More information is below. The Event Director will look forward to hearing from many of you. 😉
