What to do during the school holidays?

What to do during the school holidays? Of course, spend it actively doing sports, i.e. orienteering! This time the place of the club's training camp was chosen on the side of Cēsis. We stayed in the comfortable guest house “Bille” near the beautiful river Amata.

The agenda is active - dawn, two forest workouts, one gymnastics and orienteering theory training every day. The maps are chosen different from those in the vicinity of Riga - definitely more “jungly” and with a much larger terrain.

The main emphasis of the training was on keeping the direction in obstructed terrain and 5m in terrain. The most experienced students did it both individually and in a group, the youngest - accompanied by coaches.

The main and most recognized event of the training camp became the 15 km hike along the banks of the picturesque Amata river, which was started in the light but completed in the dark.

Thank you very much to our parents, great helpers both in preparing meals 4 times a day (this greatly decreased the cost of the camp), and in training the new less experienced censors, both in bringing to and from the camp and taking our athletes to the training places.

Special thanks to the organizer of the orienteering competition series “Meridian” J. Let's brag about the great workout cards.

The preparations for the 2024 season have begun, good luck and perseverance in the future!
