Orienteering

This is an excellent hands-on program to develop map reading and orienteering skills.  There are curriculum connections with math, social studies, physical education and outdoor education.  Additional activities enhance student learning about the cultural and natural environment, human impact and safety outdoors.   Students should have basic map reading skills. 

There are two orienteering routes in the park. The Shannon Terrace route has twelve stations.  The Bow Valley Ranch route has eight stations.
