About the program:

Designed for children ages 6-11y , will be arranged into groups considering their age, peers and experience.
The program is run by our NCCP trained coaches and based on the goals and principles of the Canadian Physical Literacy & Long-Term Athlete Development model.
Each session includes stations including games, agility/endurance skills and navigation/ map reading.
Ask us about the AOA Grant to support underrepresented groups to subsidize registration fees ( including Indigenous Peoples, members of visible minorities, newcomers, low-income households and people with disabilities).
We are part of the CANADIAN TIRE JUMPSTART program to provide help with the registration fees for low income families.)

Why should you try it?

Engages the mind & body with emphasis on fun
Builds competence and confidence to be outside
Teaches navigation and map reading skills
Helps you connect with nature
Gets you moving, outdoors, with plenty of smiles

Our Vision:
Our goals is to grow a community based outdoor program in Airdrie where kids can develop competence, confidence and motivation to be active outside. We use orienteering as a tool to teach navigation, we play games to have fun and develop basic running skills, agility & endurance. We want to foster a family-oriented outdoor program to engage not only the kids but youth leaders and parents as well.
