Adventure Orienteering: Maps, Compasses, and Pedometers |
This is an active session that will allow the participant to learn the basics of map and compass. After an introduction, small teams will 'orienteer' the adjacent areas around the convention site using an 'adventure' approach. Pedometers will assess how efficient you do the orienteering! This is a great initiative activity for any new site orientation and can be adapted for a variety of populations and age groups. |
