Our Vision: is to nurture a community based outdoor program in Red Deer 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 of the Canadian Physical Literacy & Long-Term Athlete Development model. Each session includes 3 stations: physical literacy games, agility/endurance skills and navigation stations. 
​Why should you try it?
  • Engages the mind & body with emphasis on fun 
  • Builds competence and confidence to be outside, for life.
  • Uses games and obstacle courses to build agility.
  • Teaches navigation and map reading skills.
  • Helps children to connect with our natural environment.
  • Provides opportunities for decision making and independence.
  • Gets everyone moving outside with a big smile, guaranteed!​​
