| Urban Orienteering: Get Lost in San Diego! |
| Orienteering is an increasingly popular activity although the perception of high costs and extensive preparation often prevent teachers from using orienteering. "Urban Orienteering" is based around the sport of orienteering and provides a low cost, easy to use alternative with great cross-curricular potential. Urban Orienteering offers "low key" competition in an exciting alternative to traditional sports. Participants will learn to design and implement a variety of urban courses. Participants will complete short courses at the convention sight with an opportunity to complete more courses before attending an optional follow-up social to discuss their experiences, compare results
and discuss implementation. |
