There are a number of classes in the area coming up for Advanced Wilderness First Aid as well as for 2-year re-certification classes for anyone with an expiring certification.
All of the National High Adventure treks that we go on require the adults in attendance to have this certification so if you are planning to go to Philmont this year or Northern Tier next year now is the time to complete this class.
Here is a link to their class schedule: https://frontrangecpr.enrollware.com/schedule#ct159600
