Participants learn the basics of using a compass, take on a bearing challenge and then put their skills to work on an orienteering quest along the trails. No experience is needed and compasses are provided. The program wraps up with a sweet treat around the campfire. Dress for the weather and bring a snack if you like; children must be accompanied by an adult. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [Free Trails Day at Riveredge](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/free-trails-day-at-riveredge--listing-cb816ce1a992d68ca8bd5ce6) — Sat, Nov 14 · Riveredge Nature Center, Saukville · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
