Courtney Lewallen of Traverse Beyond has designed this clinic for our club’s hiking and mountain bike members and leaders, all outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who works or spends time in outdoor environments. This course teaches you skills to be used in emergencies when help from professional, first- responders may be far away.
June 12, 2026, 3:30 – 5:30 PM. Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign in and find a spot in Kate Stephenson’s backyard.
Included topics:
Know Before You Go – Weather, route planning, and the decisions that happen before you ever leave the trailhead.
Communication – How to call for help, what to communicate, and what to do when you can’t.
Scene Safety – How to assess and manage an emergency scene in a summer environment, without putting yourself at risk.
Performance Triad + The Human Animal – Understanding how your body responds to stress, exertion, and extreme conditions — and why it matters.
Heat – Sunburn, dehydration, and hyponatremia — what to watch for and how to respond.
Cold – Hypothermia and frostbite — recognizing early signs and taking action.
Physical Injuries –Soft tissue injuries, sprains, strains, and fractures — hands-on knowledge for the trail.
Medical Emergencies –What to do when something serious happens and help is far away.
What to Carry – What belongs in your kit and how to use it — heat packs, rehydration salts, emergency shelter, gauze, bandages, a SAM splint, tourniquet, hemostatic agent, and more. You’ll leave knowing not just what to pack, but why every item earns its weight.
What to Do – How to react to surprise animal encounters on the trail.
Cost: $45 per person. Bring a chair, hat, sunscreen, beverage, notepad, and pen.
