Description
In a day of GPS its important to know what how to navigate without modern technology. Map reading is a critical skill in all outdoor activities. At our intro to navigating workshop we will highlight some essential skills for using a compass and reading a map. The primary focus will be on associating map features with the surrounding terrain to navigate effectively.
Meet at the Kirkhof clocktower for this hands-on event. Dress for the weather and anticipated conditions for wandering around the ravines. Compasses & maps provided.
These OA events are weekly social gatherings planned by and for GVSU students who are into hiking, camping, &/or backpacking. While we do plan to have a topic each week, it's meant to be a more informal exploration, focused on sharing ideas and having fun with other outdoorsy students. This semester, they'll be Mondays at 5p with varying end times.
This event also appears on the main events calendar tagged as dsa, hiking, outdooradventures, and recwell.
