Organizing Your
Traditional Navigation Workshop
The Traditional Navigation Workshop is a one day to 4 day workshop. It is also possible to participate in a traditional navigation during a Multi-day Backcountry Adventure. As a backcountry adventure, the workshop becomes more experiential as we hike through a landscape using traditional navigation methods.
Hosting and organizing a workshop is easy. If you are interested in a workshop for your group or organization, please visit our Hosting a Workshop page.
Since each workshop is individually designed for your organization or group, the rate for the workshop is based on various factors, which we discuss in the design process.
