Youth (aged 12 years and older) who are comfortable running an advanced course in a city park, but have also participated in forest events, are welcome.
*Attendance of Minors Policy:

The camp organizer will not provide child supervision during the camp.
Youth between 12 and 17 years of age must be attending with a designated adult who is responsible for that junior for the duration of the camp 24/7. The parent or supervising adult must provide help with any extra coaching to their minors, as needed. The coaching is intended for adults, so should any youth need modification and shadowing to that training that must be provided by the supervising adult.
If a child is under 12 years of age and wants to attend with their family, accommodation can be provided but training activities will not be provided. 

 If you have any questions about the age limits and child policy, please reach out to the organizers (info@orienteeringalberta.ca).
