Wilderness First Aid/CPR- Aug. 26-27 in Arkadelphia

[OzarkTom]

Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators will be offering a 2 day Wilderness First Aid and a CPR/AED course at Byron Eubanks' property on the edge of the Caddo river in Arkadelphia. The WFA course will be Aug 26-27th and the CPR course will be the evening of the 26th.

Camping will be available on site.

The 2 day WFA course is non-stop action packed with hands on training and scenarios. We focus on the most common back-country injuries and give you the opportunity to actually practice just about everything you learn in the program. If you like lecture and powerpoint this is NOT the class for you....

As you see in trip reports on our message board, it doesn't take long for a day trip to turn into a lot more than you bargained for! We teach proven, easy to remember techniques to deal with just about anything you might encounter, from fractures to anaphylaxis. This course will cover all our standard syllabus as well as additional key skills for paddlers.

The cost of the WFA course is 125.00 which includes your textbook and all materials.

The CPR/AED certification course will be the Saturday evening after the WFA course is done for the day and will be a standard CPR/AED course plus additional training on dealing with drowning victims. The CPR/AED course is at no charge to current ACC members thanks to the efforts of the ACC to encourage all members to be current on their CPR certification. For non-ACC members, the cost is still only 40.00
