What is orienteering?
Orienteering is a sport that involves finding control points that have been placed in a rural and/or urban area with the help of a map and compass.
The rules are simple: find all the control points as fast as possible! And of course, try not to get lost.
This project, and orienteering in general, aims to enhance physical activity as well as mental and social well-being among young people. It's a triple threat in well-being!
