Map and compass class

Improve your navigation skills with a course where you will learn to read map contour lines and translate them to the actual terrain. With your compass you’ll learn about magnetic north, true north and declination. Then we’ll put it all together to pinpoint your location and plan your route. Map, compass, snowshoes, gaiters and trekking poles provided.
