OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST
Courses for Outdoor Adventures
One of America's favorite past time is being outside, exploring, playing sports, hunting, hiking, camping. off roading, mountain biking, scouting, tubing, white water rafting, or just a day fishing or relaxing in the great outdoors. However, you never know when danger can strike or a medical emergency can happen. Having some of these classes can help take care of minor situations or stabilize someone until help arrives or you can get to advanced help.
