In contrast to a school class working in a familiar schoolyard or park, a camp has a larger space, and usually more forested area. The progression therefore addresses more of the skills at the basic level of Orienteering USA's Skills Recognition Program, such as safety procedures and using your compass. It also leads more quickly to orienteering races and games.

This particular progression was designed for a camp where each session lasts 70 minutes, and campers choose daily whether to attend orienteering or another activity. This setup requires flexibility from the counselors facilitating the sessions, as they must accommodate both new and returning campers within the same activity. Some activities, like a Score-O, are well-suited to this format as they can scale in difficulty—for example, campers can choose how many checkpoints to visit within the time limit.

Below are videos from planning meetings with one camp, offering an overview of how the program works in practice.
