Every kid can get outside: move-learn-navigate.

[email protected] and Groups is a new program offered to schools and community groups in Calgary and the surrounding area.  Our groups program has grown out of demand from teachers and community club leaders, who have been a part of our SOGO evening programs and want to introduce SOGO to new audiences. 
 
[email protected] and Groups can enhance a curriculum by providing students and athletes a fun, highly motivating adventure running program: teaching students skills of navigation, endurance, agility, and speed.

Your school or organization will coordinate with our SOGO staff to find the basic learning objectives of your group. We can then create the experience to fit the number of students, schedule and the outdoor space available. The SOGO program is an outdoor experience, we can design a program in the school yard, green space near the school or local parks depending on the school preference. Our SOGO staff incorporates orienteering equipment and maps as well as a specialized timing system into the program.  Our students, staff and volunteers love the use of this specialized equipment.
 
Program pricing is $530 per day for groups of 1-30 members and $700 per day for groups of 30 or more. We require a 15% non-refundable deposit to confirm your booking and full payment on the final day of your program. Our programs can be run as a single-day option up to a 5-day residency program in the spring, summer and fall.

For more information please get in touch with us, we look forward to working with you.
