Land Navigation

Learn to Navigate so you can Adventure Confidently

We are all drawn to the wilderness, to the solitude and peace it offers us, but it can be scary to rely entirely on our phone or GPS to keep us safe on our adventures.

Learning how to use a map and compass allows you to explore further with confidence so that you can find the connection to nature we all seek.
