We will be holding a new Wilderness First Aid training program at camp on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning, May 20-22, 2011. This course teaches how to respond to an emergency when help may be delayed and is for those who are over the age of 14 with a current CPR certification.
Topics include:
• Primary and Secondary Assessments • Head (Brain), Neck and Spinal Injuries • Heat-Related Emergencies • Hypothermia • Altitude-Related Illnesses • Allergies and Anaphylaxis • Burns
• Bone and Joint Injuries • Wounds and Wound Infection
The training will be held at camp beginning at 8.00 pm on Friday May 20, 2011 and is expected to finish around noon on Sunday May 22, 2011. The cost is $25.00 and includes training materials. Meals at camp are included. If you are interested and want to attend, please contact Dawn Washburn ([email protected]) or Betsy McIntee ([email protected]) as soon as possible to reserve your space.
Note: We will also be running CPR and RTE re-certification on Saturday at 10.00 am. Please let Betsy know if you would like to be included.
