  • Each session is structured to provide a comprehensive and engaging experience for young participants.
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.
