Pinhey's Point Family Day

Map: Pinhey's Point
Each year we partner with our friends at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site for some family friendly orienteering, great for newcomers, youngsters, families, others who want to try out some short sprint events. We will have approximately 6 courses, all short, fast and fun! You can do them all! With a break for a burger and a drink in between.
Time: Courses are open 10:00 am to 2:00 pm; Barbecue is on from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm
Location: Pinhey’s Point Historic Site (https://goo.gl/maps/
We will have a few lawn games set up for when you need a break. Kubb – if you haven’t heard of it, you have to try it! Bocce – a classic lawn “bowling” game. And the Go-4-O maze orienteering – last year we had our Team Canada coach Jeff being challenged by some of our young future team members on this maze-like course. A definite must-try for everyone, young and not-so-young.
The barbecue will be up and running with meat and veggie burgers, hotdogs and drinks. Best burgers in town!
Pinhey’s Point, in the far west end of Ottawa, on the shores of the Ottawa River, is just about the most gorgeous site you could choose for spending a day outdoors in a park with good food, good friends, and great activities. Come out and make a day of it. Bring friends who have never tried orienteering, bring parents, kids, grandparents too!
