First, watch Wilderness Inquiry's video that overviews how to use a compass and the critical parts of the device. It's a great refresher of this lesson and helps see a compass being used in action.
Compasses are commonly used in orienteering, the sport of navigating with a compass and a map with the goal of traveling from point to point. It is usually done in competition against another team.
In this activity, you will practice your compass and navigation skills with simple games. After that's complete, you will progress to creating your own navigational course!
