Hi All we are having two training camps at the end of October and first weekend in November.

The training will be lead by Becky Carlyle, and we need at least 5 people for it to happen. Juniors and Seniors are welcome.

Day two of the CT weekend will probably be at Paugusset. Hope that some people can make it!

OCIN's annual TROL training camp will be Sat, Nov 23, with a regular meet (and first TROL league meet of the season) on Sunday, November 24. Both at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

This is awesome, and thanks to Becky and Erin for making the camps happen!

Becky - the boys have a mandatory campout that weekend so won't be able to make it, but I may be able to get over one or both days to assist in some minor role. Keep me in the loop about what you might need help with...

The huntington meet will be a MTBO with other options. The courses have not been designed yet, so I will keep your training in mind when planning routes. FYI, there is a corn maze very nearby in Newtown. I can check with them to see if holding an event there is possible.

Joe, that would be really fun! Thanks!

We can collect bags etc as part of the training too on the Saturday if you want to keep that in mind.

Thanks Clint - will keep you in the loop!

"mandatory campout"??

Isn't that somethng that Mom puts on the calendar when she needs some peace and quiet?

it means they're already committed to leading some of the instruction for the younger boys - so its mandatory for rank advancement.

I love a training camp in the Rocky Mountain Region!

well, there was Laramie Daze. Although it wasn't a "training camp" it sounds like it would have been a great opportunity to get in some good orienteering--and lots of it.

If you are wavering on signing up, please let us know ASAP. I will be deciding this weekend whether the CT session will go ahead, and so far the answer is no.

It's alright if that's the case, we understand these trainings were very short notice! There will be more, with better warning in future!
