SOGO Level 1 (Ages 6 - 12) 

​The Basics

​Through highly motivating playful games and activities, participants will navigate through adventure running stations as they learn the basics of Adventure Running.
​
Participants are divided into groups based on age and ability to ensure everyone receives the coaching and guidance they need and enjoys the maximum skills development from the program.
 
Each night focuses on building skills by engaging in two energetic Adventure Running stations: Navigation and Speed/Strength/Agility/Endurance. The stations rotate throughout the evening to keep participants learning, growing and developing.
  
Participants may take part in Level One for several years with challenges evolved at each session. Five year olds may join Level 1 program if they have done a season of SOGO Squirts.

Ages are calculated based on the participant's age as of June 30 of this year, so if your SOGO participant has a birthday during the SOGO season, you are able to register them in a program based on their age at the end of the SOGO season. If you have any questions about which Level to register your child in, please email us at [email protected].
