Twilight Training for Girls
This training is for girls in upper primary school/lower high school (ages 11-14) and will provide girls with the understanding, knowledge, and technical skills to orienteer at the moderate level of difficultly.
It is specifically designed for:
- Girls who are feeling confident when participating in ‘Easy’ level events and are interested in having a go at the ‘Moderate’ level.
- Girls who have recently started moderate level orienteering and would like to further their orienteering skills/techniques for this level of navigation.
Sessions will be held from 4:15pm to 4:50pm at four Twilight Series events. After each session, participants can then complete their selected course at the Twilight Series event. After completing their course participants will be encouraged to regroup to talk through their course with other girls and their parents.
