KID-O

Orienteering events and activities for young children

What is KID-O

KID-O is a games based orienteering program for children aged 0-7. This is the pre-independent orienteering age.
KID-O offers activities that encourage children to learn basic navigation skills and respect for the bush through orienteering games and nature play.

National Expansion

Orienteering Australia is excited to work with Bridget Uppill to develop KID-O into the national orienteering program for children.

The program, resources and facilitator training is being reviewed and updated. Online training will become available for facilitators in May 2025 on the Orienteering Learning Centre. Orienteering Australia will provide $1000 to orienteering centres to establish KID-O.

Please contact Bridget at kid-o@orienteering.asn.au for more information.
