Never Get Lost Again: Intro to Orienteering and Map Reading

Learn to navigate with a map and compass in this hands-on outdoor course. No experience needed. Participants will learn to find their way without GPS, moving from basic map-reading to confident backcountry navigation in one half-day session.

The course is structured in two parts: instruction on fundamentals, followed by a real orienteering challenge where skills are immediately applied in the field.

Open to hikers wanting to reduce reliance on apps, Scout leaders, and anyone seeking confidence navigating backcountry terrain.

The course takes place at Sixteen Hallow in Lions Valley, a glacial valley carved by Sixteen Mile Creek.
