🌙 MVOC Cricket Holler Night-O / Search & Destroy-O

Hosted by: Miami Valley Orienteering Club

Event Director: Seth Moore

Step into the woods after dark for a fast-paced orienteering adventure at Cricket Holler Boy Scout Camp. This unique Night-O / Search & Destroy-O is designed for all experience levels—first-timers, seasoned navigators, runners, hikers, families, and friends.

🧭 What Is Orienteering?

Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport where you use a detailed map (and optionally a compass) to find checkpoints scattered across the terrain. It’s part strategy, part speed, and part exploration—a real-world treasure hunt, after dark.

🗺️ How the Night-O / Search & Destroy-O Works

Phase 1: Night-O (6:00–7:00 PM)

Mass start at 6:00 PM

1-hour time limit

Format: Score-O (find controls in any order)

Goal: Punch as many of the 20 controls as you choose

Scoring:

Each control punched = 1 point

Phase 2: Search & Destroy-O (Starts at 7:00 PM)

Controls are collected and returned

Each control returned = 1 point

Strategy matters: speed, route choice, and teamwork can make the difference.

🌲 The Course

Navigate your way through Cricket Holler Boy Scout Camp, with reflective controls placed throughout the camp’s trails and woods. Compete as an individual or as part of a team.

🧭 What’s Provided

High-quality course maps

Reflective controls with manual punches

Loaner compasses

🌧️ Rain or Shine

Dress for the conditions and bring your sense of adventure. Run, walk, hike, navigate, and explore—whatever your style.

🌟 Come for the Challenge. Share the Experience.

Whether you’re chasing points, testing your night navigation skills, or looking for a spooky bump in the dark, this is a must-do night-life adventure.

🌕 Let the hunt begin!
