FIRST AID / CPR / AED

This 5-hour class covers Standard First Aid, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Automated External Defibrillator use.

You will learn about scene safety, personal protection equipment, bleeding control, wound care, general injuries, sudden illness first aid, and environmental first aid. Being outdoors people, we will put extra emphasis on outdoor first aid. You will be demonstrating proper CPR on manikins, so please dress in comfortable clothing. Several topics from the Advanced First Aid class are covered in this standard class since they are important topics to understand. First Aid Kits will also be discussed.

The class runs 5 hours, which includes a very short lunch break (bring your own lunch – no time to go out to lunch).

Please bring a camp chair, note pad, sunscreen and anything else you would like to bring along.

Class fee is $40 for the lecture and hands-on practice. If you would like a 2-year certification through ECSI (Emergency Care and Safety Institute) there is an additional fee of $20 and you will also receive a first aid book in addition to the certification card. – You must RSVP to this class as we need to cap this class at 12 to assure proper instruction and proficiency. With your RSVP, please let us know if you will be doing the certification or just coming for the knowledge and hands-on experience.

All RSVPs must be in 10 days prior to the class to assure the proper amount of supplies (and books – if getting certified) are ordered, and all reservations must be pre-paid.

If you will be getting certified, please provide an email address – the cards are now sent electronically to your email after you complete the class.
