The Backyard Navigator

Get your budding young navigator geared up for some real life adventures. Basic navigation skills, primitive skills, star studies, treasure maps, 3D mazes and more are waiting to be found in the guided adventure and skills pages.
With six full pages of activities, your young adventurers will have plenty to do on Zoom breaks, hikes, camp outs, backyard adventurers and even walking around the block.
As an outdoor instructor, I have learned that if you give a young adventurer a compass you have given them the keys to adventure. Treasure maps, wayfinding, daydreaming, hikes, scouts, geocaching, lost proofing and more! This kit is all about noticing, observing, recording and learning the many differences that nature throws our way, and finding them on all of your own adventures.

There are few things that, across the board, please all the people all the time. Forts are one of the few exceptions. I have never seen an adventurer, big or small, who did not crack a smile at the idea of a fort of some kind. Few forts capture the imagination quite like the teepee. I have spent many nights in teepees and laavus over the years. This version is the culmination of all of that experience. We teach you how to build a single pole teepee, without an expensive teepee shell. No cutting, no sewing, and versatile enough to be used with any number of fabrics. The incredibly detailed video will take you step-by-step through the process of putting up this shelter in your own yard or adventure area. Once you have watched the video and gone through the steps you can get this amazing fort up in under 10 minutes. Great for naps, reading, play, bird watching, and so much more. Best of all, the single pole backyard teepee can be scaled to fit adventurers of any size, without damaging the materials used to build it.
