Our land navigation courses will teach you to confidently navigate in various types of terrain, environments, and conditions using a map and compass.
The focus of our land navigation program is to provide you a fundamental understanding of how to use a map and compass by teaching you about the necessary gear, skills, and techniques in a hands-on and practical way. Our program is geared towards those from a wide mix of backgrounds and experience levels, whether you’ve had prior training or none at all. That’s why True North has had the privilege of working with day-hikers and hunters, to professional emergency responders, to those in the military.
Clients take our courses for such reasons as:
- Search-and-Rescue training.
- Adventure Racing
- Preparation for military assessment, like Officer Candidate School (OCS), U.S. Army Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), Ranger Assessment and Selection (RASP), and Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS).
- Wilderness medicine fellowships.
No matter your goals and motivation, we’re confident that you’ll learn much and have much fun in the process!
