A fun way to introduce outdoor adventure & orienteering skills to participants aged 5-12 years! We partnerd with  the Be Fit For Life Network  to create this new resource! There are 6 lesson plans that are designed for use in a variety of settings, including school, recreation, sport and community programs. Each lesson is designed to be approximately 1-1.5 hour in length and has 3 stations. 
Each one hour session includes 3 stations: 

• PHYSICAL LITERACY games,
• Fun AGILITY stations
• NAVIGATION & MAP READING 

Each station can accommodate up to 20 participants so total of participants in an hour lesson is up to 60 students.

Teachers  feedback:
"I just wanted to pass on a HUGE thank you for the free Orange Marks the Spot resource...it is AWESOME!! 
 I am an elementary P.E. teacher and orienteering is something I have always wanted to teach. That said, there's always a lot on the go. Your resource helped simplify things for me and I am now maybe your biggest fan! 
 Since using the resource with my students for over a month, we have also went orienteering with my 3 year old son and plan to continue to do so as a family. As part of a comprehensive school health initiative, I also helped lead my schools professional learning yesterday and had our staff outside orienteering at -15...it was a blast!
