Back by popular request! This program is an interactive introduction to map and compass navigation. Learn how to identify where you are on a map, how to measure your paces and the distance you’ve traveled, finding North and how to find the trail should you get lost. At the end you will complete a course using a map, compass, and pacing as well as landmarks to find your way back to the classroom. A wonderful opportunity for families to learn the basics of orienteering! Expect this program to last 1 ½ to 2 hours, including the navigation course. Please bring a reusable water bottle, dress appropriately for the weather (we will be outdoors rain or shine for the course), and compasses will be provided. 2:00 p.m., Meet in the A. B. Ceder Room, FREE… Donations will be accepted to help defray the Conservation Center’s programming expenses.
