Never be lost again! Learn to find your way using a map and compass
through participation in our monthly orienteering workshops. Different
courses are prepared each month with the beginning to intermediate
orienteer in mind. Each workshop starts with a 25 minute "how
to" class for first timers and those needing a refresher. The $3.00
fee ($5 for non-Cary residents) includes an orienteering map, punch card
and use of compass. Register and pay at the time of the workshop. Adult
guidance is recommended for those under 12. The next classes begin at
10 a.m. on January 11, February 8, and March 8.

See the Stars at Bond Park
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered just where are
those constellations they talk about in science books? How about what the
rings of Saturn look like? Can we really see the Andromeda Galaxy with
binoculars? Why does Venus have phases like the moon? These questions and
many more will be explored on Astronomy Night at Bond Park. Bring your
binoculars or telescope and learn how to use them to observe the night
sky. Even if you don’t have observing equipment, some binoculars and
telescopes will be available for use, so everyone will be able to explore
the universe. Pre-registration required.
