In this active program, students are introduced to the basic features found on most maps. Students will learn and practice map and orienteering skills such as:

  • Reading a map
  • Orientating maps in the correct direction
  • Operating a compass
  • Following a map route

Starting with a small practice course to hone their skills, students will then work in teams to find their way to a series of control points.
