What is Orienteering? The simple answer would be that it is one of the greatest outdoor activities which involves the mind and body and helps people to connect with nature by building confidence and competence to be outside. Participants navigate (mostly running or walking) to a series of checkpoints marked on a map. The goal is to find each point, and if you are competitive, to do so as quickly as you can. Orienteering is perfect for anyone seeking to add some outdoor adventure to their life. It is super fun because of the cognitive aspect of route finding and decision making, which always brings a new perspective. Anyone can participate regardless of experience, ability or age and it is very family oriented. At the same time it is a challenging sport for runners or adventure racers with a competitive edge. The sport of orienteering started in Scandinavia over a hundred years ago and has since spread throughout the world with international events and established World Championships. A map, a forest and you. What could be better? |
Pathfinders: Every-Kid Can Play Initiative
This year our organization is expanding programs in Red Deer, Calgary and Edmonton for under-served communities. These programs focus on delivering school programs to reach thousands of students. We are also supporting free programs for families, funded by the Every Kid Can Play (EKCP) Program, which are designed to address affordability and accessibility challenges to sport, physical activity, and recreation programs for Alberta kids and their families. We would like to thank the Government of Alberta's support to the non-profit sport sector to help deliver affordable access to sport and recreation opportunities.
