The Compass Rose curriculum is a set of skill modules broken down into topics and organized under the 4 cardinal points of the compass. These skills were developed internally by our outdoor leaders that have decades of experience in hiking, rock climbing, and mountaineering on 3 continents. This curriculum represents what we feel are the minimum set of skills requiring mastery if one is to travel securely and skillfully in a demanding environment.

Compass Rose Program

As you can see, the primary topics of the Compass Rose are:

  • North: Finding Your Way
  • South: Living Outside
  • East: Staying Well
  • West: Helping Others

Today we begin with an image from Module 1 of the North grouping : Finding Your Way

Check back often to more of our skill modules! The entire Compass Rose will be available for download later this year.

Thanks,

Bill
