SOGO Navigators (for Teens)
(formerly called Level 3)
|
SOGO Navigators is our orienteering program for teenagers aged 12-17.
Athletes meet to build and hone their navigation abilities, technical terrain running skills, physical fitness, and have fun socializing with other teens building knowledge and confidence. Each week highlights a specific skill, helping athletes prepare for participation in WEO events. It’s all about learning, practicing, and feeling race-ready. We train on different maps (both urban and forested). The program is located at the same park as the WEO (Wednesday Evening Orienteering) events - in conjunction with Foothills Orienteering Club. SOGO Navigator coaches have a great deal of orienteering experience and include experienced veteran and national level elite orienteers. Navigators is open to orienteers who have orienteering experience already - and to teens who are new to orienteering. All are welcome! Athletes who are particularly driven may also start to take on a leadership role at SOGO, developing new skills in organization, collaboration and leadership. FALL 2026 Our SOGO Navigators program will look a little different this fall. With our amazing coach, Grace, away at university, we won't be offering a traditional weekly Navigators program this season. Instead, we encourage all Navigators to join the Foothills Wanderers Orienteering Club's Wednesday evening events, where they'll continue to build their navigation skills, connect with teammates, and enjoy fun, age-appropriate challenges. Registration for these events is through the Foothills Wanderers website. We're also exploring ways to keep our Navigators community connected throughout the fall and winter, including the possibility of online meetups with Coach Grace. We're still working out the details, but we'd love to keep everyone involved. If you're interested in learning more or would like to be notified when plans are finalized, please send us an email at [email protected]. We'll' keep you in the loop. ____ If you would like more information about the SOGO Navigators program or would like to know if the program is right for your teenage athlete, please email [email protected]. |

The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.
