This event is in partnership with
MetroParks of Butler County. Range of courses, white through green.
Late afternoon starts, start any time between 3-5 pm. This event will include our "egg orienteering" courses for kids to find plastic eggs which they can redeem for candy, toy or book when finishing the course.
Adventure with a map! Participants get a detailed map and try to locate a series of control points shown on the map. Suitable for all ages, you may compete for the fastest time, or just enjoy a leisurely hike, while using our map to explore the park.
The easy course, Egg orienteering, is designed for young children and their families. As kids find each checkpoint, they can collect plastic eggs, and upon finishing the course, children get to select a toy, book, or pack of candy to take home. The Egg Orienteering costs $4 per child with a $10 family maximum; adults may accompany young children at no charge.
Older children and adults may also choose to try one of several more difficult courses; the fee is $10 per person. You may do multiple courses at no additional charge.
No pre-registration is needed. Just show up between 11 am and 1 pm. Please note that we can only accept cash or check on site.
