Plan ahead - sign up for a Wilderness First Aid course in January at Smokey House. This sixteen-hour introductory course, taught by SOLO instructors, provides knowledge and hands-on practice in prevention, recognition, and treatment of backcountry injuries and illnesses. WFA certification, valid for two years, is provided upon completion of the course.

This course is a must for teachers, group leaders, coaches, and outdoor enthusiasts as well as for student athletes and leaders. It is useful for hunters, foresters, farmers and anyone who lives or works a distance away from immediate emergency care.

Two sessions - choose from Thur-Fri, Jan. 19-20 or Sat-Sun, Jan. 21-22. Contact juanitabc@tutorialcenter.org for more info.
