Backcountry Navigation with a Map and Compass

November 11, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm

$95 – $125

(DC) (REI) During this class, our instructors will help you understand a topographic map, proper use of your compass, and how to put the two together. You’ll learn about magnetic north, true north, and magnetic variation (declination). After covering these fundamentals, you’ll get time to practice taking a bearing from the terrain and your map so that you can make sense of your position and plan a route. This engaging course is a great introduction to outdoor navigation and map reading! Ages 14 and up.
