20hr Wilderness First Aid RECERTIFICATION

Join us for a fun weekend with some fellow adventurous ladies at the Hunter Valley Adventures Camp!  This 10 HOUR course is to recertify the 20hr Wilderness First Aid you may already have.  This is NOT a new full course.  

PRE-REQUISITE:  20hr Wilderness or Remote First Aid (current)

SPACE IS LIMITED!  Please inquire. 

Schedule:

• Saturday May 1st:  We will have a flexible day that will allow a little personal / social time in between first aid skills & scenarios.  After a supper by the fire we will set up for an evening scenario.
• Sunday May 2nd:  An easy start to your morning may allow for a short hike or yoga by the river before we finish off some first aid discussions before wrapping up our content.
• Schedule is tentative and fluid.

Our Class is OUTDOORS!

We take great pride in using our outdoor classroom places to enhance the content of the Wilderness First Aid program.  Every minute spent outdoors adds real life value to the content.     THIS COURSE IS OUTDOORS.  There are indoor facilities at Hunter Valley however the camp is considered “off-grid” and is a rustic natural camp.  This is why we LOVE our time at Hunter Valley – because you really do get away from it all! Oh and there is no cell service either – so you can truly unplug and connect!

What to Bring?

We also ask that each participant bring a “day pack” that would be similar to what you would carry on a day trip or work trip outdoors so that you can use items you would likely have with you.  There is no wrong way to do anything when you are improvising.

• A detailed WHAT TO BRING list will be sent to course participants upon registration and closer to the course date.
• Participants will be required to provide ALL THEIR OWN FOOD and PERSONAL CAMPING NEEDS.  In order to minimize contact with other participants, no food sharing/preparation should be done.
