Map, Compass & Survival Courses

The Map, Compass and Survival Course is one of several "advanced" courses offered by the Hunter Education Program. All courses are free of charge.  Below is the current schedule of Map, Compass & Survival Course offerings. Courses are traditionally held once/month on a Saturday from April - October, while the Pittsfield location usually hosts a Saturday course in spring and in the fall. Detailed course description. This year (2009) due to ice storm damage at Westminster, some courses will be offered at a different location.

You must bring a lunch and be dressed for outdoor activities for these courses. Rain or shine--you will be outdoors part of the day!
