At Navigation Games, we’re proud to collaborate with a diverse network of schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to bring the excitement of orienteering to youth of all ages.
​
We work closely with educators by offering ready-to-use lesson plans, teacher training, demo days, and even grant opportunities to help integrate orienteering into school programs. Beyond schools, we partner with youth programs, camps, and community centers to deliver fun, engaging, and active experiences tailored to each group's needs.
​
Our hometown of Cambridge, MA is home to many of our long-standing partnerships, including all 12 public elementary schools, all five public middle schools, and initiatives like Girls in Sports Day, the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program, and several local youth centers. We've also worked with organizations like Camp Rainbow, Cambridge Montessori School, and the Scouts, and provided special events for companies such as Google.
​
Regionally, our partnerships span across Greater Boston, including Newton, Sudbury, Lexington, and beyond. We also collaborate with like-minded organizations such as the New England Orienteering Club, Orienteering USA, and Mass Audubon to expand the impact of our work.
Funders
As a non-profit, we could not exist without grant funding from our Community Partners.
The team at Navigation Games was nothing short of amazing! Barb, Ethan, and Charlotte provided well-prepared lessons that were both interesting and motivating for our students. During a time when guidelines are constantly changing, Charlotte and Ethan provided both in-person and remote lessons that adhered to COVID-19 safety protocols through engaging lessons that encouraged students to use their physical, mental, and social skills in a fun learning environment. I am so grateful for the orienteering experience that Navigation Sports provided to myself and my students, I highly recommend this program to any school looking to broaden the learning experience of both their students and teachers.
