NOVEMBER Education Programs - 2008


November 8-9, 2008

Wilderness First-Aid Course w/ Wilderness Medical Associates
This intense two-day workshop will teach students how to deal with medical emergencies when they are miles from help and dialing 911 is not an option. Through hands-on scenarios and lecture structure, students will learn to assess patients, become certified in wilderness first aid, adult CPR, and anaphylaxis training. Class time will be spent both inside and out, rain, shine, or snow, (just like in real life!), so please be prepared for unpredictable Adirondack weather.
Cost: $215; includes instruction and materials
Package: $299; includes instruction, materials, meals, and lodging for 2 nights

You’ll go home with much more confidence in your ability to use a map and compass when it really counts!
