SUMMARY:SheJumps Map & Compass Two-Part Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join SheJumps and BHPFA for a two-part course to learn the empowering skill of map and compass navigation! In this course you will learn how to read a topographic map\, proper use of an orienteering compass\, and how to put the two together. We will cover the fundamentals of magnetic north\, true north\, magnetic variation (declination)\, and taking a bearing from terrain and maps.  \nTotal cost (covers part 1 & part 2): $20 adults\, $10 children under 18 \nPart 1 Basics: Sunday\, April\, 26 at BHPFA Headquarters Building\, Custer\, SD\, 9 am- 12 pm  \nPart 1 Class Portion: will be held at BHPFA’s Headquarters Building in Custer\, SD. We will cover the fundamentals of reading a topographic map\, and how to use an orienteering compass. There will be indoor classroom time\, with some time spent outside in the parking lot.  \nPart 2 Field Portion: Sunday\, May 3\, Wind Cave National Park\, Hot Springs\, SD  9 am- 3 pm  \nPart 2 will be held outside at Wind Cave National Park. Participants will put their new map and compass skills to the test with the guidance of program manager Andrea Fountain. Part 2 will primarily take place in the Wind Cave backcountry\, where participants will work together to navigate off-trail to a designated point. Participants  MUST ATTEND Part 1 to participate in Part 2. Please note that the off-trail travel does include hiking over rough\, potentially steep terrain\, including rocks\, grass\, and prairie dog holes.  \nWe will aim to wrap up the field portion by 1:30 pm\, then you are welcome to stay for an optional “trailgate” social back at the visitor center! Bring a snack or non-alcoholic beverage to share \nWho can come?\nWe welcome all women! This program is open to girls 8 and up\, but an adult must accompany them.  \n*Please note: the event is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather.
