Is this class appropriate for me?
Please review our functional position description to ensure you can fully participate in this course.
​
What do I need to bring?
Classroom essentials: Please bring pen and paper for note taking, snacks, and water for the day.
Appropriate clothing: Bring clothing that will keep you comfortable outside all day, rain or shine. Avoid bringing your favorite clothing items. We will be using fake blood and make-up in class and we don't want to stain your favorite clothing. Additionally, we will be rolling around on the ground and lying in odd positions as patients - ensure your clothing will keep you covered during this process.
Personal Gear: You are invited to bring any essential personal kit you may have that you'd like to try out in class. We can have a lot of fun fashioning splints out of paddling gear or trying out the latest fancy rescue item you found at REI.
​
What's your Refund Policy?
We will offer a full refund (minus the 3.4% credit card fees) up to 20 days prior to the course start date. This gives enough time for another student to enroll in the course. If it it less than 21 days prior to course start no refunds will be offered. We may be able to transfer your enrollment to a future course if one is available under special circumstances. Rare exceptions to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
