Welcome to the Arctic Orienteering Club, based in Anchorage, Alaska. Orienteering is the sport of cross country navigation using map and compass. To some it is a competitive race while to others it is a chance to get out and explore the countryside, challenge the mind, and enjoy the company. Either way, you are welcome to participate. Training is part of our purpose, and beginners and young people are encouraged to take part. The Arctic Orienteering Club (ARCT) is a sanctioned club of the United States Orienteering Federation (USOF) and is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.
