Maybury State Park - SMOC Maybury and Youth Orienteering Challenge

Using a map and compass, navigate your way to checkpoints marked with orange-and-white flags. Choose your own route as you go - climb the hill or take the easier path around, cross the stream or find a log bridge. Whether you're racing for a fast finish or enjoying a leisurely afternoon hike, the adventure is yours to create.

Participants of all ages and experience levels are welcome. As part of this event, we're excited to expand opportunities for youth through the Youth O-Challenge, which includes:

• SMOC swag for Youth O-Challenge participants

• Open to youth ages 1–20 on any of the Short, Middle, or Long courses

• Orienteering games and activities for all skill levels

For younger participants:

• String Course

• Animal-O

• Toddler Scramble

For older participants:

• Cone Grid-O

• Maze-O

Lessons are available for beginners. Arrive early to learn the basics of orienteering, map reading, and navigation before heading out on the course.
