Never Get Lost Again: Intro to Orienteering and Map Reading

Learn to navigate with a map and compass. Hands-on outdoor course, no experience needed. Find your way without GPS. Your phone dies three kilometres into a trail. No signal. No GPS. Just trees in every direction. That moment of panic? It is completely preventable.

Whether you are a hiker who wants to stop relying on apps, a Scout leader building your program, or someone who simply wants to feel confident navigating the backcountry, Boreal Edge is your shortcut to real-world navigation skills.

In one half-day, we take you from "which way is north?" to confidently navigating with a topographic map and compass. This is not a classroom lecture. It is a hands-on, two-part outdoor course where you learn the fundamentals, then immediately apply them on a real orienteering challenge.
