January 2 – 8, 2022, Wilderness First Responder
As an outdoor person, you may find yourself in a situation where help is more than a phone call away. Typical first aid courses train students to provide care before an ambulance arrives. This course is designed for people who often travel where dialing 911 is not an option. It is experiential and tough, with emphasis on practical sessions and videotaped simulations using mock victims. This course runs for seven days. https://www.kayaklesson.com/rescue-courses/wilderness-first-responder/
