Starting at 0900 and running until 1600, this course is jam packed with information and students just need to show up with appropriate clothing and lunch\/snacks. All materials are provided.

This course is a modern navigation\/map and compass course but some emergency navigation skills will be taught explained if time allows. The course starts indoors with basic orientation of equipment before moving outdoors to establish pace count and work with compasses on distance and direction courses. Depending on the skill of the students, culminating activities may include creating a distance and direction course, route cards with detailed information, or \"hide and go seek\" on the map with coordinates and resection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis course is taught in an air-conditioned facility with a full kitchen, bathrooms, and tables with bench seats.
