Ever think about getting lost in the wilderness? It can be a pretty terrifying thing to contemplate. Especially if you think about not having any signal or charger for your phone.
Orienteering, the use of map and compass to find locations and plan a journey, has been a vital skill for humans for thousands of years. Orienteering is also a recognized sport at the Olympic Games, and thousands of people participate in the sport each year in local clubs and competitions.
In addition to being fun, it could also save your life if you ever find yourself lost in the backcountry. Come learn basic navigation skills using map and compass to find your way. In this workshop, you'll learn the parts of a compass, how to read a topographic map and how to use them together to find your way in this wild world.
