ORIENTEERING IN SCHOOLS
Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body. The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.
There is great potential for developing orienteering within schools with simplified and progressive orienteering activities that can take place in the school grounds or inside the classroom. Orienteering is also a cross curricular activity and can support subjects such as Maths, PE and Geography.
Keep it simple! Use your imagination!
