WE INSTALL ORIENTEERING PROGRAMS with maps and equipment and train your teachers to use orienteering across the curriculum:
I. We research data available to make the maps and then visit your campus. We use GIS, aerial and architectural information as base maps.
II. We complete field checking and cartography both inside and outside of the buildings. At our office, maps are digitized and lesson plans modified to fit your students.
III. We install the equipment, courses, and teach your teachers how to use our lessons.
IV. Follow up includes updating maps, connecting you with other programs and keeping your lesson plans current.
