Join our Outdoor School Instructors for a class on learning to use a compass and read a map to help you find your way in the wilderness. Our Instructor will teach you all the parts of a compass and how to choose a style that works for you. We will talk about magnetic north, true north, and magnetic variation (declination), and help you make sense of it all. Then you will learn how to take a bearing, both in the field and projected onto a map, so you can learn how to triangulate your position and plan a route.
