Map and Compass Navigation Course

Learn about land navigation in the absence of technology - magnetic compass, topographic map, even the sun! Hiking and exploring often leave you without the assistance of technology to guide you. If you're interested in how to find out: where you are, where you're going, and how you're going to get there, sans-cell phone, this activity is for you. Never feel helplessly lost again!

This is a full day course, taught outdoors, in the mountains. All needed equipment is provided. Led by Shenandoah Mountain Guides.

Available on select dates and limited to 10 participants.
