FREE: String-orienteering course suitable for children: the course is marked from beginning to end so children follow the trail finding checkpoints along the way. Orienteering helps children to develop self reliance and spatial skills while they enjoy the puzzle of navigating and the physical activity. If your child enjoys a puzzle and the outdoors then this might be a great sport for them.
