Join us on the Esplanade for the closing event of Frost Fit Fitness Series with a day full of free outdoor activities including orienteering, a dance party and free hot cocoa in partnership with Navigation Games and A Trike Called Funk.

We will begin at 12pm with orienteering on the Esplanade in partnership with Navigation Games. Perfect for all ages, this event offers exciting activities like Animal-Orienteering—a scavenger hunt for beginners (3 years old and above) to find animals and learn the basics of map reading—and Score-O, an exciting challenge to locate checkpoints throughout the park using only a map. Race your friends, punch your card, and check your results to see how you did. Adventure awaits—come explore the Esplanade! No prior experience is required, but participants can learn more about orienteering here!

Starting at 1pm, A Trike Called Funk will provide music and a dance party. Enjoy free hot cocoa while welcoming the Spring dancing to some funky beats!
