Itinerary:

Join me at the Perimeter REI store to learn how to read a map and use a compass!
We'll meet at 5:30 PM to ensure we're seated and ready to begin by 6:00 PM.
Everyone should learn these vital skills whether you're hiking alone or with a group. It's always good to be prepared.

This hands-on class will teach you how to read a map and compass to pinpoint a location and then how to navigate to new locations. You will also learn how to identify your position and plan routes using only a topographic map.
