Orienteering for Camps
Orienteering is a physically active learning experience that develops map navigation skills. Learn how to incorporate progressive orienteering lessons into your camp to help kids observe and experience the environment, develop spatial reasoning, practice critical thinking, and gain confidence at navigating in both familiar and new places. You’ll come away with activity plans and knowing how to get an orienteering map made of your camp. Weather permitting, we’ll do an outdoor orienteering activity nearby, so please dress to go outside!

Bringing Orienteering to Your PE Program
Orienteering is a sport that develops map navigation skills, physical fitness, critical thinking, and spatial reasoning. In this workshop, attendees learn about the basics of orienteering, then play Animal-O and Geometric-O — fun, progressive games that build navigation skills step by step — and explore how they fit into a K–12 orienteering curriculum. We'll show participants how to get an orienteering map made of their school or a nearby park, and introduce our new curriculum design tools that make it easy to plan a complete orienteering program. Participants will leave with lesson plans, activity materials, and everything they need to start teaching orienteering.
