Those who complete the course and pass the written and practical skills will receive a Wilderness First Aid certification from SOLO which is valid for 2 years.  


Optional CPR Training

An optional  Adult CPR Certification Course will be offered on Saturday evening for an additional fee of $50.00 for those who would like to get certified.  While certification is recommended; it is not required.
