Land Navigation
Land Navigation Program
Our Land Navigation Program helps people of all skill levels and backgrounds build the knowledge and skills to confidently navigate the outdoors.
Our instructors bring decades of experience teaching clients from a wide range of skill levels and backgrounds, helping each person get the most from their learning experience—delivering professional-grade instruction in a way that’s approachable, practical, and engaging.
Our training area is an easily accessible county park that still feels surprisingly remote once you’re on the ground. The terrain supports learning across a wide range of experience levels, making it an ideal environment for both beginners and those looking to develop advanced skills.
- Training designed to help you learn, have fun, and reach your goals.
- Small class sizes that prioritize training quality and client outcomes—not volume.
- Private training available to help meet your specific goals and schedule needs.
We’re often asked these questions about this course...
We will personally follow up with you with three quick and easy forms for you to complete and return. We will send you a detailed course information sheet which will contain all of the applicable details that you’ll need to prepare and arrive for your training.
You will have the choice of using either a Suunto MC-2 orienteering compass or a mil-spec Cammenga lensatic compass supplemented with a protractor. During your training, we will explain the differences and list the pros and cons of each platform so that you can make the best choice for your needs. Most military personnel preparing for a selection and assessment course will need to use the lensatic. If you’d like to use your own, please feel free to bring it.
Since our primary goal is to provide you a safe and comfortable learning experience that helps to minimize your costs, we really don’t require much beyond appropriate clothing and footwear, your snacks and lunch. When you register, we’ll send you a detailed course information sheet that will list the required and suggested items. Additionally, one of our goals is to give you a chance to “test drive” the gear and supplies that we bring so that you can make better purchases after the course.
No experience whatsoever is required for any of our courses, basic or advanced. Just make sure to bring your sense of adventure and positive mental attitude! Whether you have only car-camped or hiked the Appalachian Trail, we are confident that you will find our courses a terrific learning experience. No matter what, we are all students - including our instructors!
