  Wilderness First Aid
  March 7 & 8, 2015
  8:00-6:30 Saturday and 8-5 Sunday.

  When you are participating in outdoor activities that take you more than 1 hour away from medical care, wilderness first aid provides a significant difference in survival and effects of injuries.

  Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) of New Hampshire, the first wilderness medicine school founded in the United States, will provide instruction. The school has been featured in Backpacker Magazine and on the PBS television series Trailside. Originally called Backcountry Medicine, SOLO’s WFA course was first offered in 1975. Since that time, thousands of trip leaders and outdoor enthusiasts have been certified at this level. 

  Many organizations use this course to introduce first aid and long-term patient care to their staff or members. WFA is recognized by the American Camping Association, US Coast, Guard, and various guides licensing boards as meeting their first aid requirement.

  This course does not include CPR. See February 16 for that class.

  Wilderness First Aid provides an intensive 16 hours of training covering injury assessment, rescuer safety, bleeding, shock, orthopedic injuries, long term patient care, and treatment with materials at hand during practice sessions. 
  

  Requirements for the class are that you be physically able to complete the class, 16 years or older and be registered.

  Parts of the class are taught outdoors, so be prepared to be outside no matter what the weather. Go to the SOLO website for the complete course description, www.soloschools.com/wfa.html

  Location: The course will be probably be offered at Camp Mary Orton on the north side of Columbus, west of High Street, just north of I-270 in Worthington, OH 43085.

  Course Fees: $180.00 for COP Members, $190.00 for COP MeetUp members and $200.00 for Non-members. Fees cover your tuition, the transportation, room and board of our instructors and COP overhead costs.

  Registration contact: Ann Gerckens office@outdoor-pursuits.org 614/442-7901.

  Housing: You will not be able to spend the night at Camp Mary Orton. Contact Ann before February 17 to arrange floor space.

  Last date to cancel is March 1st, 2015. Only if a replacement from the waiting list can take your place will a refund be issued after March 1, 2015. A $25 processing fee will be deducted from all refunds.

  Confirmation letters will be sent via e-mail. Regular mail will be sent for those without e-mail. 
  
  R U a COP Leader?
  A limited number of subsidies are available. Contact the office for the code.
  

  Recertifying your Wilderness First Responder? Be sure to check that box when you register so the instructor comes prepared.  You will also be required to send both a current CPR card and your not-yet-expired WFR card plus a $15 registry fee to SOLO after the class to obtain your new WFR card..

  Once again, intrepid paddlers Dave Seslar and Keith Finn are leading one of their acclaimed southern paddle trips down, er, ...south.  Yes!  This year, we plan to spend 5-6 days on the bee-u-t-ful St Mary's River.  It has been several years since we visited the St Mary's, which forms the eastern border between Florida and Georgia.   This is a very pretty, yet unthreatening stretch of classic blackwater river.  We will be camping on pristine white sandbars while wending our way downriver under the shade of live oaks, Ogeechee lime and water oaks.  This trip would be appropriate for beginning paddle campers - the river can be winding, but is a non-technical paddle.  Advice is always freely given!    Cost for the week is usually 200-250 dollars.  This event is only open to COP members.

  
  

   If interested, contact Keith Finn or Dave Seslar.  orcafinn (at) gmail.com,  david.seslar (at) gmail.com.  Keith's phone is 614.560.3558, Dave's phone is 614.334.9352   Note: Keith is much better at responding to email, he continuously misplaces his cell phone.  Dave is known to respond better to text messages!

  Flowing through some of Ohio’s wildest and most
  scenic areas, Little Beaver Creek in Columbiana
  County was the first in Ohio to be designated a Wild
  River. We’ve had a great time paddling the Little
  Beaver!  If the water level is up, we’ll start upstream Saturday morning and paddle about 10 miles back to the state park. Sunday we’ll paddle downstream toward the
  Ohio River (about 14 miles). Maybe. Be prepared
  to be flexible. The paddling is mostly flat water with the occasional riffle and perhaps a Class II if the water level is right (nothing really challenging). The scenery is
  unbelievable, the camping fun, the camaraderie abundant and there will be plenty of stories around the campfire!
  We’ll be camping at the state park Friday and Saturday
  nights, so we won’t be carrying any camping gear on
  board (just your lunch, snacks and drink . . . and dry
  clothes in case of a swim!). Little Beaver Creek State
  Park is a 3.5 hour drive from Columbus. The weather
  is expected to be perfect, so plan on going!

  Adirondacks - New York “High Peaks”

   July 15 – 19, 2015, Wednesday – Sunday.

   

    This trip will leave Columbus early Wednesday morning at 5:30 am and we should arrive in Keene NY about 12 hours later.  We will stay that night at the Keene Valley Hostel.  The next day, Thursday, we will hike the Big Slide via the Brothers.  We will then camp at the Heart Lake campground Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and use that as “base camp.”  On Friday we will hike to the top of Algonquin Peak and if feeling good will climb two other peaks on the way.  On Saturday we will hike to what is said to be one of the most beautiful lakes, Avalanche Lake, with some spectacular views.  Each of these three hiking days is 8 – 10 miles.   We will return to Columbus on Sunday. 

   

  This trip needs 6 people but no more than 6 due to DEC camping and tent restrictions in this area.

   

  If you are interested, register on-line.  If you should have questions, feel free to e-mail me at perryjanep AT gmail.com.
