Family & Community Learning
Increasing evidence demonstrates the many benefits of nature on a child’s psychological and physical wellbeing, including reduced stress, greater physical health, more creativity and improved concentration.
Family Active is an opportunity to spend time in the outdoors learning with your child through cooperative games, map reading & participation in an orienteering challenge. You’ll be well prepared by expert tutors who will also aim to ensure you have lots of fun learning together!
DAY ONE – LEARN MAP READING SKILLS – A CHANCE TO AQUIRE OR IMPROVE YOUR MAP READING
DAY ONE – TEAM CHALLENGES – A CHANCE FOR PARENT & CHILD TO EXPLORE WORKING TOGETHER
DAY TWO – ORIENTEERING – AN OUTDOOR SPORT ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES
DAY TWO – YOUR PERSONAL CHALLENGE – PUT LEARNING INTO PRACTICE AND TRY TO BEAT YOUR PERSONAL BEST ON TWO TIMED LAPS OF THE ORIENTEERING COURSE
what is Orienteering all about?
It’s an organised outdoor adventure sport for all ages and abilities and it’s a great way of getting outdoors. The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points, marked on an orienteering map, in the quickest time.
There are different categories of course based on the skills and abilities needed. We will be using a course suitable for family groups with children aged 6-14 years.
Our course is not about competing with others but about considering and improving the way your team works together in order to improve your collective personal best time. We want everyone to strive for personal improvement.
