Wilderness First Aid Workshop
From the event description:
Join Buzz Mill & Lumber Society for a Wilderness First Aid Workshop hosted by Camp Master, Chris Hyde. Lumber Society was founded in 2013 to bring the community together around getting outside and embracing nature. It's like adult scouts where you earn patches, and, at the end of the 11 workshops, you can test out and earn your Grizz Patch. Wilderness First Aid is the 5th workshop out of the 11. We believe that if you embrace these skills that Chris Hyde teaches, then you'll be more able to survive the first 72 hours of a zombie apocalypse.
When: Thursday, May 16, 7-9 p.m.
Where: The Buzz Mill, 1505 Town Creek Drive
Admission: $15
