Description
Our workshops help outdoor enthusiasts build a solid foundation for safe wilderness travel. Digital Trip Planning and GPS Navigation focuses on the advanced skills and digital tools required to plan a trip and navigate in the backcountry. This workshop includes a full field day in the Strathcona Park backcountry to practice our skills.
Who is this workshop for?
Instructional programs are just as important to us as guided trips. These events give locals a chance to access the same professional guiding services without the added expenses of long-distance travel or multi-day time commitments. We have a lot of fun at our workshops. Our programs are best suited for:
- Intermediate hikers and backpackers who wish to advance their knowledge and skills; OR
- Advanced hikers and backpackers who want to refresh and learn new skills.
