Our Vision:
Our goals is to grow and nurture a community based outdoor program in Airdrie where kids can develop competence, confidence and motivation to be active outside for life. 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. Our program is based on the goals and principles of the Canadian Physical Literacy & Long-Term Athlete Development model. Each session includes 3 stations: physical literacy games, agility/endurance skills and navigation stations. Our Leaders
