Navigation workshop is officially on!!!!
Ok so I am pumped. We now have 15 people that have responded to that “testing feelers” post I made a couple days ago on here and other socials. The event is officially on and has a FB event page. So that makes it officially official. :))))))
In honor of having 15 people on board, my dear friend John Purchase proposed I give you 10 reasons why you should participate. And think that is just a fantastic idea, so here goes.
Obviously this doesn’t apply to our members outside of the greater Ottawa area but would still appreciate your likes and comments and words of encouragement.
So here goes.
————————————
1. Give your kids a real-world outdoor skill they can actually use. They’ll learn how to read a map, use a compass, and feel more confident outdoors.
2. A fun parent-AND-kid activity that is different from the usual screen time. This is hands-on, active, and designed to get families working together outside.
3. Learn navigation basics in a simple, non-intimidating way. No experience needed. Everything will be taught step by step in a kid-friendly format.
4. Build confidence for hiking, camping, scouting, hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventures. These are practical skills that can stay with kids for life. Just have to practice them.
5. Turn learning into an adventure. The geocaching-style challenge gives families a chance to practice while having fun.
6. Help your child develop problem-solving and teamwork skills. Parents and kids will work together to follow clues, read directions, and make decisions.
7. A great way to explore Hammond Hill while learning something useful. Families get to enjoy the outdoors in a beautiful local setting.
8. Perfect for beginners. This workshop is designed for people who have never used a compass before or who want a simple refresher.
9. Free or donate-what-you-can, so everyone can participate. There is no pressure, no expensive gear, and no barrier to joining.
10. A safe, friendly introduction to outdoor navigation led by someone knowledgeable and approachable. Families can ask questions, learn at their own pace, and leave with more confidence.

Finally, please share with anyone you think might appreciate this sort of event. Heck it’s 💯 free.
If all goes well. Everyone will be able go home with a complimentary compass.
