Picture
​Are you looking for something FUN, ADVENTUROUS and SAFE to do outside?
Try our self-guided activity which is
 featured by  Outdoor Play Canada.
Engage your mind and body with this unique  self-guided, map based, outdoor activity in your neighborhood. No experience necessary, the step by step guide will lead you through it.



How does this work?

  1. How to create your own map (5 min)
  2.  How to plan your route/course  (3 min)
  3.  How to use your map  and complete your course  (5 min)
