LOCATION: Hollister Hills SVRA Park

DATES: April 16th & 17th

WHAT:
The WRFA is especially important to know while traveling for extended periods in the back country--either via foot, bicycle, motorcycle or car. Kristina herself is a highly seasoned wheeler and tailors her instructions to real world scenarios for wheelers, mountaineers and backpackers.
She works in partnership with the American Red Cross--is an authorized Instructor and Instructor Trainer and teaches CPR and Wilderness and Remote First Aid Training courses that will certify participants for 2 years with the American Red Cross.
If you'd like to sign up for the course, PM Kristina and post up here so I can keep an accurate list of participants.
For those also interested in getting CPR certified, I know Kristina is probably going to do a separate class for that at a later date.
