Our land navigation courses will teach you to confidently operate in various types of terrain, environments, and conditions.
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, wether they’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.

- Search-and-Rescue training.
- Adventure Racing
