  Need-a-Friend - Team building activities are stimulating problem-solving tasks designed to help group members develop their capacity to work effectively together. The activities chosen for your group will be varied, starting out from simple to more advance as the class works together. An important part of team building exercises is participants' reflection and discussion about the activity, how they approached the situation, and possible points of learning.  (Minimum class size of 10)

  Orienteering - Why do we need a map and compass? To help us find where we’re going and where we’ve come from. The students will learn the parts of the compass, how to find the direction their pointing in, and how to dial in a direction. Go over the key on a map and learn how to read it. If time permits they will go through a small orienteering course.
