Map and Compass on Snowshoes

Join us for a day of outdoor fun and skill building with Ernie Hansche, experienced wilderness trip leader and avid naturalist.   Learn how to navigate through the woods, how to orient and read a map, set a bearing and follow it using map and compass. Tricks for not getting lost as well as fire building skills will all be a part of this outdoor adventure. Bring a trail lunch and dress for the outdoors in warm, waterproof footwear and layers that can be easily removed and added. The group will travel up to three miles off-trail over hilly terrain. Depending on trail conditions the program may be on snowshoes or microspikes (available to borrow).
