Preventing COVID at Family Earth
"Spending time in nature has countless benefits, but it also comes with risks. As families venture out and spend more time in nature we want them to be prepared." -Rochelle, Family Earth
Basic Wilderness First Aid (BWFA) Certification offered in partnership with Wilderness Rescue Solutions
Responding to a growing need, Family Earth is partnering with Wilderness Rescue Solutions to deliver a course tailored to the needs of families with children. The first component of the training is completed online, followed by a half day workshop where participants earn their certification. The hands-on workshop accommodates families with children of all ages. Youth (15-18) can participate alongside their parents and earn their certification, infants and toddlers are welcome to stay with their parents, and middle aged children (4-14) are invited to join Family Earth staff for an exciting wilderness experience on Family Earth’s acreage.
