​A fun way to introduce outdoor adventure & orienteering skills to participants aged 5-12 years!
The Alberta Orienteering Association and the Be Fit For Life Network have partnered 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:

• Physical Literacy games
• Fun agility & speed station
• Navigation and map reading

Use these lessons as a guideline to support each activity, allowing for participant and instructor creativity.

Target Audience:
