SUMMARY:Introduction to the Mighty Map and Clever Compass
DESCRIPTION:Visiting wilderness spaces is a beautiful\, grounding way to connect with the natural world\, but it also requires deep respect and preparation. Too often we head out on a wing and a prayer or leave our safety completely in the hands of others.

Let’s invest some time together and get more acquainted with this stuff. \nShow me the way! \nIn this fun\, hands-on\, experiential workshop you’ll explore the anatomy and functioning of a map and a compass and practice skills that can literally save your life. We’ll play with exercises that familiarize you with using these tools to guide yourself where you wanna be. \nWe’ll also go over essential trip preparation and safety practices.
