Teaching Orienteering in the City
Orienteering education is a physically active learning experience that develops map reading and map navigation skills. In collaboration with school teachers, Navigation Games has created orienteering-based curricula that can be used everywhere, including in urban schools. Through our orienteering lessons, students develop self-awareness, observe and experience the environment, and gain confidence at navigating in both familiar and new places.
In this workshop we will play an outdoor team orienteering game using a map of the Holy Cross campus. We will introduce participants to our K-12 lesson plans.
Come dressed to spend time outdoors.
Presenters:
Barb Bryant, Navigation Games, President
