Thank you for your interest in an Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) online workshop.

This course requires a computer or tablet with internet capabilities. You will also need an Adirondack High Peaks map and a compass.

The Map & Compass Fundamentals Online Workshop is an instructional course delivered to you from the comfort of your own home via Zoom, a video conferencing platform. A private Zoom invitation will be sent to you a few days in advance. This course will cover map interpretation, compass use, declination, triangulation, and the requisite gear for safe backcountry travel. By working through the ADK Map & Compass workbook and online presentation as a team, we aim to build confidence in your navigational skills.

Please plan on signing in to Zoom at 8:50am on the day of the course to test your connection. A private Zoom invitation will be sent out a few days in advance. This course will begin at 9:00am and conclude by 5:00pm with a few short breaks throughout the day.
