This class will discuss clothing choices to prevent hypothermia and the resources that can be used to treat hypothermia.
Class date is Saturday September 14 and is limited to 7 community members in addition to KCDEM volunteers that have already registered. Class starts at 9:30am and will be about 2.5 hours.
This class will be held at Camp Calvinwood, near Port Orchard. The address is 6838 Calvinwood Road, Port Orchard. Calvinwood Road is about 3.5 miles from the Sedgwick overpass. From the Sidney and Sedgwick intersection, head west/southwest on Sedgwick, which will eventually become Lake Flora Rd. The entrance gate will be unlocked and you will need to open the gate, drive through the gate, and then close it after you drive through. Follow the signs to the training area. Please close the gate after entry and exit.
After this class the student will have the fundamental knowledge of how to prevent, recognize, and treat hypothermia injury.
**There will be about an hour break before the next class, so if you’d like to take both classes on the same day, you can bring a lunch or return after getting a lunch.**
