NOLI: Map Reading & Compass Class

Do your adventures take you to remote areas where all you have is your own wits and training to rely on? Or do you prefer to keep your adventures closer to home by heading to your favorite local trail? In either case wilderness navigation skills will greatly enrich your experience by giving you the confidence to successfully head into the backcountry and return home safely. Join former Army Infantry officer Scott Fisher learning the art of how to read a topo map and use a compass to successfully navigate in the wild. The first part of this comprehensive and fun hands-on class will be spent in a classroom setting reviewing the features of a map and compass before progressing to terrain association, navigational techniques and route selection. After completing the classroom portion we will move outside to practice your new skills and then cap it off with a mild 1 mile hike to a beautiful overlook where you get to apply all that you’ve learned. Maps and compasses provided. No experience necessary. Ages 12+.For more information and to register go to https://bookeo.com/nolilearn?devent=41568HHAUWM16EF50506FE_2020-07-19_zDo7wVxLQiSa.
