In Person - Camp Rancho del Chaparral

 

Join us on a backpacking adventure to the remains of Ojitos Camp, a historic logging camp from the 1930s, within Camp Rancho Del Chaparral. You'll learn about packing, planning, and cooking while backpacking and learn about preventing and treating medical situations when you aren't near emergency services. This three-day course includes a field guide, assessment documentation, two-year wilderness first aid (WFA) certification through the American Red Cross. This training requires the ability to hike a few miles with a backpack.
