VOC Membership
The Vulcan Orienteering Club is a very informal group of people with an interest in orienteering. At this time, we have no formal meetings or membership dues.
How do you become a member?
If you come and participate in one of the local meets, you may consider yourself part of the Vulcan Orienteering Club. The cost to run a local VOC course as an individual or small group is only $8, plus $2 for e-stick rental (if you do not have your own). Additional maps for group members are $1 each (optional).
At this time, the fees from our local orienteering meets has been enough to keep our supplies stocked. If our numbers begin to grow a little more, or we can not cover our expenses, we may look at having a formal club membership process, or raising the local meet fees.
If you decide to join Orienteering USA (membership application), put the Vulcan Orienteering Club as your OUSA chartered club affiliation.
