About this event

Exploring the fundamentals.

This event is intended for teens as well as an adult audience.

What happens when your phone dies on the trail? In this hands-on workshop, participants will work through an outdoor scenario using classic analog tools like a topographic map, compass, field clues, knots, and emergency signaling methods. Learn practical skills for navigating, observing, and problem-solving outdoors without relying on a screen.
