At Uncommon Adventures, we believe the best place to learn is outdoors. We host fun and dynamic Map and Compass Classes across a number of locations in the greater Seattle area. Our experienced instructors provide participants with the opportunity to develop skills they can apply in every-day life.

What a typical class looks like:

• An introduction to reading maps (along with terrain association, and techniques to navigate and route - without a compass)

• Instruction on how to use a compass and how to adjust for declination, shoot and follow a bearing.

• Learning how to take bearings and trip planning and navigating to a. destination on the map.

• Practicing how to triangulate and find a position on the map.

• Question and Answer Session.

All participants will receive a handout at the end of the class.

The expectation is that you will get ample opportunity to practice your skills and become increasingly proficient in understanding your surroundings, pinpointing your location, and navigating to your destination.

Our Map and Compass classes are suitable for both those with and without experiences, and are limited to those 12+.
