Map and Compass

April 19 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

Event by Chinsegut Conservation Center

Historically, being able to navigate using a compass was an essential skill for explorers. Today, modern GPS devices tend to take the place of traditional map and compass reading. Participants in this program will learn to read the topographical and physical features of a map, set a compass heading and pace out a distance. Once everyone is familiar with the compasses, they will have an opportunity to test their skill on a navigation course. 
This class is ideal for ages 12+ and will include in class learning and outdoor practical.
Spots are limited and registration is required. Please follow the link to register: https://outreach.myfwc.com/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1946994&group=
