Do you know how to read a map or use a compass?

Bring your compass (or use one of ours) as we talk about 'red in the shed,' true north, and magnetic north.

After some basic compass exercises, we'll hit the trails with a map to search for nature treasure.

This program is a good introduction to orienteering.

All welcome(suitable for children 7 - 16 years)

Instructions and Directions:
Meets in the Nature Center.

Dress for the weather and bring a compass if you have one (we will have some to lend as well).
Registration is required.
Register online or call 978-887-9264 to register by phone.
