For anyone interested in traveling off the beaten path it is a much more pleasurable experience if you can navigate on your own. The use of map and compass is an age old method of wilderness navigation, however with today's new technology, the map and compass can mean so much more than it used to.
A Wilderness Navigation class will provide you with the basic map and compass skills that will make the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) meaningful and enjoyable. GPS is pretty much meaningless without a map and compass. Join us in our two day clinics that create a sound base of knowledge in map and compass, and then introduce you to GPS. Classroom and practical application go hand in hand to give you a confidence in the wilderness.

The clinics will be two days in duration.. Noontime lunches will be provided, as well as coffee or tea and doughnuts.

Class size is limited to 10 students.
2 Day Wilderness navigation Course $250 Per person,
minimum enrollment required

We will be offering several scheduled classes throughout the year, please check back for dates. If you have a group, we can schedule classes on your dates and possibly at your location. Please call or e-mail for more information.
You will need to bring a compass and suitable clothing for the existing conditions. A GPS unit is not mandatory, however if you have already purchased one, bring it.
