Western Connecticut Orienteering Club (WCOC)
Permanent Courses
WCOC currently maintains two permanent courses, one located on the Five Ponds map (part of White Memorial Foundation property) in Litchfield, CT, and the other at Hurd State Park in East Hampton, CT. The locations for a permanent course are marked by 6" orange and white markers attached to trees near the control features.
To use a course, download a map below (pdf format) and print it in color. Generally, marker locations on or close to trails will be easier to navigate to than ones farther from trails. The Hurd Advanced Beginner course is the easiest permanent course we offer but still requires the ability to read the map. All other courses are at least intermediate (orange) level. For more information about permanent courses, see the OUSA website page for permanent courses.

The below courses are intermediate to advanced level. Do not attempt to do them unless you have experience doing at least orange level courses.
