Outdoor and Rec Athletics 0134 - Land Navigation

Do you rely on "smart" phone apps and GPS to get where you're going? Learn how to navigate in the ways of our ancestors, using pathfinding, terrain association, map reading, compass skills, orienteering, celestial navigation and other techniques to travel distances across new terrain. This class will be held outdoors and will require up to 1 to 4 miles travel, on foot, on and off trail. We may on occasion use cross country skis, snowshoes, bicycles or canoes to travel. There will be one night navigation session held at a day and time TBD in April. 5-College students will be graded pass/fail.
