2026 school's Rogaine - Waiora Scout Camp, Sunday , 14 June
This year, as part of the school's series, we are hosting a 90 minute rogaine for students teams and open public/family teams who want to explore this beautiful location.
The addition of the rogaine is designed as an introduction to rogaining, as well as allowing students who wish to enter the NZ Secondary Schools Rogaine Champs in Christchurch on 19 July to get some last-minute team training. https://www.orienteering.org.nz/.../nz-secondary-schools.../
As rogaining is a team sport, all student teams must have at least 2 members. Team members do not need to be from the same school or year group, but must be students only. The emphasis is on participation and fun. Composite teams can be arranged on the day if required.
The rogaine will take place primarily within the bounds of the Waiora Scout Camp.
Time:
Registration from 10am
Maps out: 10:30am
Start: 11am
Return time: 12:30pm
We are using SI sticks and orienteering controls, so each team will need to have or hire an SI Stick for this event.
Planner: Jonathan Wood
Cost per team member:
Students $5
Adults $20 (members only $10)
SI hire ($3) per team

At the AGM last weekend the quorum voted to change the name of the club from the Dunedin Orienteering Club to Otago Orienteering Club. This is to better reflect the geographical spread of our members and events.
We are undertaking the process of updating websites and emails to reflect this.
