The terrain at Kings Gap, PA will reinforce terrain-based navigations.  In this course we will use multiple map resources of the Kings Gap area.  In this training event you will see the difference between orienteering and true land navigation.  

Come and learn the basic skills needed for you to find your way without a GPS.  This day-long Workshop is a perfect time to learn some new skills and put them to the test.   Our instructors will help you use your map, the proper use of your compass, and how to put it all together. 

The day will start with a quick review of the principles of Land Navigation.  After covering these fundamentals, each student will get time to practice individually.  Following this, they will start their first multi-point route through various terrain.  We will then move as a class to a new site to conduct another, longer, multi-point course.  This workshop was created to give the basic building blocks to help you understand how to navigate both urban and rural areas. Come and add more skills to your “survival toolbox.”

You will be walking 10-15 kilometers during the day in various terrain, come prepared and dress appropriately.
