The class will be an introduction to Wilderness First Aid and adult CPR. Participants will learn first aid for helping someone who is injured or ill while hiking in the forest or paddling on rivers and lakes. The emphasis will be hands-on practice of skills. All materials will be provided. At the end of the class, weather permitting, we will take a short hike where students will respond to simulated illnesses and injuries and will practice their use of first aid skills.

For the last ten years, he has been teaching Wilderness First Aid and CPR classes locally. Rick has also taught Swiftwater River Rescue courses for SUNY Adirondack.
