ccarlson Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Due to lack of participation, we've had to cancel the WFA class originally scheduled for June 17-18. All who sent in payment will have their checks returned. We will try this again either in the Fall or early next Spring.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHuth Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I took the Solo course last year. The cert lasts for two years, and they also have an option to squeeze in the CPR cert. I highly recommend it - in fact - I had a choking incident at work and had to do a Heimlich to clear a woman's trachea, not to mention other minor incidents - so this training is definitely valuable!John H.

ccarlson Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hey Bill... probably at the Gould Barn, scheduling permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nystrom Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Several of us have taken both the Solo and Wilderness Med classes. The general consensus was that we preferred the latter, primarily because it was more focussed on kayaking. The certs are also good for three years, rather than two.

grybzzll Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Carl,I'd be intersted if its the first weekend in May 6&7, can't do it the 13&14.Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAJWKFG Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Jay and I would also be interested in this class. I took it about 3 years ago through AMC and found it all really helpful!Jenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillian Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi, I'm definitely interested in attending . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glil Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'd be interested if I am available-don't know my schedule for May yet. The scenarios portion of the trip leader training is on the May 7th and Mother's Day on May 14th and the trip leader make-up day on the 21st. Do both days have to be on the same weekend or could they be 2 consecutive Saturdays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Carl,I am interested, and would not like to miss this opportunity : can the class be scheduled some time in June? NSPN trip leader training is scheduled for two of the four weekends in May; Memorial Day & probably Mothers Day weekends are out for me. Some of us will need a little time during that month to go paddling maybe once, take out the garbage,do a few loads of laundry etc.-Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarlson Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 It would need to be Sat-Sun as the instructors will be coming in from out of town. We are still in the scheduling process so, once firmed up, will post actual dates. Thanks for your interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Take the class if you can. I just recertified my WFR with WMA. I started years ago with the first WFA class with the club and have gone on to Wilderness First Responder, maybee Wilderness EMT in the future. I have only had to use the skills a couple of times but haveing them made the situation a minor incident not a major event. It is worth the time.

David Mooradd Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I am sorry to see the class cancelled. I was definitely interested but I will be traveling almost all of June and couldn't commit a whole weekend on top of the travel. If you reschedule in the Fall could you consider offering the class in the evening during the week. I know it would be less convienent for some but it would definitely work better for me.David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
