FOR TEACHERS: If you choose to use the GPS these are some suggested combinations
Note 1: Numbers 1-4 go together and are closest to White Oak Hall; Numbers 5-8 go together and are a
long hike out, but are close together; numbers 9-12 are along the Springs Trail; Numbers 13-16 are
around Lake Frank and are further apart.
Note 2: Each set of 4 numbers has a variety of settings. Ideally one setting will be near water, one on or
by a field, one in the woods, and one on the top of a hill.
Note 3: If you want to keep students close to camp, use these numbers, in any combination:
Suggested combinations: (1,2,3,4 – closest) (5,6,7,8 and 13,14,15,16 – medium distance).
Note 4: There are no poles or other markers to mark the areas. Each GPS reading and map marker will lead
students to a general area with differing physical features. The rest is discovery learning.
Also: - Sites 1-4 will lead students from the confidence course, the campfire, the pond and the observatory.
- Sites 5-8 are on the other side of Muncaster Mill Road. You can cross under the bridge. They
are on the biodiversity plot and are somewhat marked by poles. There should be an adult or
counselor to keep time with any group that does these Sites.
- Sites 9-12 lead students around part of Lake Frank and up the Old Nasty Trail. There should
be an adult or counselor to keep time with any group that does these Sites.
- Sites 13 – 16 follow the Springs Trail. Site 13 is on the Big Pines Trail.
If you choose to use the Orienteering Posts with the map and compass these are some suggested
combinations:
Combo 1: P, N, M, H / I, G
Example of geography: P – in trees; N - along stream near pond; M – in field; H – On hill, near lake
Combo 2: A, N G, F / C, E
Combo 3: C, F, G, H /. M, N
Combo 4: N, M, I, H / G, A
Along paths: P, B, G, M, A (in any order) these are near enough to be seen along a path.
Close to home: B, A, N, P / C, G, M
