Join GAOC

Why Join?

The Georgia Orienteering Club is a non-profit organization created to serve the interests of orienteering in Georgia and the Southeast. The club's main function is to promote orienteering as an outdoor sport and recreation through the sponsoring of orienteering events and production of orienteering maps. Your membership directly supports these activities.

Membership Benefits

When you join GAOC as a full member, you receive discounts on local event registrations and voting rights on club issues. You also promote orienteering in Georgia. Associate members do not receive discounts, have no voting rights, and are not eligible for club rankings. Without our valuable members, who are also our volunteer base, there would be no orienteering available in Georgia. So if you like orienteering and want to see it grow in Georgia, complete the GAOC Membership Form

Orienteering USA Membership

If you'd like to also join on the national level, we recommend membership in Orienteering USA. Membership benefits include a one-year subscription to a monthly E-newsletter and an annual magazine, discounts at Orienteering USA-sanctioned NRE events, voting rights, and the knowledge that you are supporting the sport of orienteering.
