Brigadoon Score O

This will be Barebones style event, meaning the approach will be casual in order to minimize the amount of volunteer capacity required, while still providing an enjoyable event for orienteers.

The Venue:

Brigadoon Village is the largest pediatric medical camp facility in Canada and offers over 30 camp programs, each of which is designed to accommodate a health condition or other life challenge.

Courses:

This will be a Score-O event.

Participants will be given their maps at registration. Any time between when you register and the start is available to review the map and plan strategy.

For a Score O event a series of control points will be scattered across a map. Each control point on the map will have a value ranging from 10 to 30 points. Point value varies with difficulty. Most points in the fastest time wins.

All controls will be open to all competitors. There will be controls suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced participants. Great opportunity for beginners and intermediate participants to challenge themselves.

There will be a time limit to complete the course.

Distances will vary due to the nature of the event.

A beginner’s clinic may be offered. Let us know via a message to the email address below if you are interested, and we can provide some form of instruction, if not a formal clinic. Please check-in early if you require instruction.

VOLUNTEERS would be appreciated for a few tasks associated with the event (e.g. Beginner clinic, registration, control pickup). Please see here to sign up.

Snacks: A small post race treat will be available, but participants should bring their own water if needed.

Parking:

Parking will be in the first Parking Area just inside the Camp Gate.

Washrooms:

There will be washroom facilities on site. Gas stations and coffee shops are nearby in Kentville.
