Adventurous Activities

Adventurous activities are mostly outdoor pursuits. Outdoor and Adventurous Activities can include playing in a playground, following maps and trails (known as orienteering), and problem solving. There are various guidelines and skills involved with orienteering.

Playing outdoors can be great fun. There is a lot to explore and discover and, who knows, you may find an ancient coin or even buried treasure!
