This training is required to be a CIWC overnight trip leader, and you’ll find it to be pertinent to the type of trips we do and the venues we travel to. The instructor is Doug Pyle, EMT with Fishers Fire Department. Doug is also an adventurer and Boy Scout leader. He has been teaching classes for CIWC for years.

There will be a short lunch break, so bring a sack lunch as there will not be time to leave the property. Everyone is welcome to bring snacks and drinks. There is a kitchen with microwave, and refrigerator, freezer.

There are several options that you’ll see within the registration levels.

If you have a valid and current CPR certification you do not need to take the CPR again but be sure to bring your card to the class.

If you don't have a valid or current CPR certification, then you need the registration level that includes CPR.

A field guide (soft cover, water resistant booklet) is included in the fee for BWFA class.
