- A team-based orienteering challenge for primary school aged children
Do you want your child to learn navigational skills while also getting some physical exercise and socialising with their friends? SC-ORE ticks all the boxes!
Over 4 Thursday mornings, SC-ORE offers some running and navigation skills practice with a real map while having fun with friends in a team-based activity.
What is orienteering?
Orienteering is a navigation sport where you visit checkpoints in a specific order using a map. The map gives you information about the area, and you decide on your own route to get around the course from point to point.
No previous experience is needed for kids to try SC-ORE! Before each event we hold an instructive briefing for everyone. Our coaches will watch over and help the orienteers solve their navigation problems themselves during the event. The kids learn as they go!
Good to know: you don’t need to be a fast runner to do well at orienteering! Navigation through map reading is a big part of the sport – a skill all orienteers continue to hone. The fastest orienteers can both run fast and navigate well – and do it concurrently.
Orienteering is a sport for life – suitable for all ages and all abilities. Let your child try it in this safe and fun environment!
