Sharpen Your Wilderness Skills This September at Campbell County Public Library!
Join us at your library for a series of Thursday evening workshops presented by the Campbell County Sheriff’s Posse Search and Rescue Team! Four weekly hands-on training classes lead up to a final Saturday morning Field Exercise & Mock Search.
Thursdays, 6:30pm:
- Sept 4: Land Navigation & Orienteering (Map, Compass, GPS)
- Sept 11: Signaling & Communications
- Sept 18: Basic Wilderness First Aid
- Sept 25: Man Tracking
Workshops are designed for those with limited skills but some familiarity with the topics—perfect for building confidence and preparing for the final field day. All sessions build toward the final Saturday mock search, but attendance at every class is not required. Attend one, some, or all sessions!
Saturday, September 27, 8am–12pm
SATURDAY CLASS LOCATION (do not come to the library): Red Rock Trails Area, 11 Northern Drive
Field Exercise: Put the lessons to the test!
Gather at the parking lot. Participants can bring outdoor gear to try and we will review the Navigation, Signaling, First Aid and Man-tracking that we have discussed in the Thursday evening classes. Participants should dress for the weather and bring water.
