Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Discover how orienteering can become a powerful, cross-curricular tool in your physical education program. This interactive, hands-on session will guide participants through fun and engaging map and compass-based activities that promote not only physical movement but also essential social-emotional learning skills such as decision-making, communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and inclusiveness.

Attendees will actively participate in a variety of orienteering challenges designed for different grade levels, with opportunities to move, collaborate, and problem-solve in real-time. You'll leave with practical strategies, adaptable lesson ideas, and ready-to-use resources to implement orienteering in your own program -- no matter the space or equipment available. Whether you’re brand new to orienteering or looking to level up your current practice, this session will provide you with fresh ideas and a deeper understanding of how movement and SEL go hand in hand.
