Map Compass Training

The Club provides a variety of training programs in the spring and fall plus "hands-on" opportunities on certain outings throughout the year.

Our "Art of Hiking" clinics provide leaders and participants with the basic skills to hike safely as a group. Map & Compass navigation exercises are focused on how to interpret topographic maps and use them in conjunction with a modern sighting compass in preparation for both on-trail and off-trail adventures. Our AllTrails navigation class covers the basics of using this popular smartphone navigation app.

The Club also encourages its members to get basic first aid training and subsidizes the cost of several online training courses.
