Cognitive Benefits of Orienteering

 Orienteering = the ultimate brain workout

It sharpens your navigation skills by teaching you how to read maps and use a compass—hello better memory and focus!

You're constantly solving problems on the go, thinking fast, adapting to changes, and staying sharp.

And for older adults? It’s more than just fun—it helps protect against memory loss and dementia.

So next time you’re out in the woods, remember: you’re training your brain, not just your body
