Every kid can get outside: move-learn-navigate.
We are excited to launch SOGO Adventure Running Summer Camps - our new summer program for kids in the Calgary community. Our Summer Camps program has grown out of demand from our SOGO community, who have been a part of our evening programs and want to find ways to keep our Calgary and area kids running in the summer season. Our Summer Camp curriculum is drawn from our SOGO regular program activities, providing students and athletes a fun, highly motivating adventure running program: teaching kids the skills of navigation, endurance, agility, and speed. Groups will rotate through activity stations throughout the day to keep participants learning, growing and developing. Our activities follow Orienteering Canada's Long Term Athlete Development model to teach skills to learn and grow through sport and having fun. We have created two small groups in order to divided kids based on age and ability to ensure everyone receives the coaching and guidance they need and enjoys the maximum skills development from the program. |
