Sonoran Year De-Issues

The Sonoran Year, fresh off their rock climbing section at Cochise Stronghold, returned to the Southwest branch this past Friday to de-issue gear and begin their nine-day Wilderness First Responder (WFR) training. We, the in-town staff, are very excited about hosting the SY’s WFR because it’s the first time the Southwest branch has offered a WFR course as a part of a semester course.
Liam Downey and Jen Hunt from WMI will provide students with the necessary tools for making critical medical and evacuation decisions in remote settings.
For anyone looking to work in outdoor education or in guiding, the WFR is a very essential and practical certification to have. (Read more about the WFR course.)
