In recent years, children’s orienteering courses have sparked plenty of discussion. Early this year, we’ll shed light on the course design team''s thoughts behind the planning process and highlight the differences between skill levels. We’ll also introduce the people working on the course designs for Kainuu Orienteering Week.
"Our central idea in course design is to ensure that every child and young person has an experience that suits their skills and abilities," explains team member Annastiina Vanhala.
