It’s easy to get around these days with map apps, but what happens when you don’t have a signal or your phone battery dies? Join Greg Hill at Hoyt Arboretum to learn the basics of land navigation using map, compass, and environmental cues.
In the classroom, you will go over simple compass operations, including finding a bearing, following a bearing, and orienting a map. Then head out to the Arboretum to practice your new orienteering skills in the field.
- Class size is limited, please register in advance
- Bring your own orienteering compass (clear-backed), or select the ticket option that includes the purchase of a new compass
- Registration closes Saturday, October 5th at 9:00am
