SUMMARY:Wilderness First Responder Certification
DESCRIPTION:An extensive and comprehensive wilderness emergency response class\, SOLO’s Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course is the recognized industry standard for those who work as backcountry trip leaders\, camp counselors\, mountain guides\, river guides\, and ski patrollers. \nWhat is taught?\nThe WFR is a 72-80 hour (8 day) course that takes emergency response beyond the walls of a clinic. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at the standards and skills of dealing with: Response and Assessment\, Musculoskeletal Injuries\, Environmental Emergencies and Survival Skills\, Soft Tissue Injuries\, and Medical Emergencies. Although these appear to be the same basic topics covered in our two-day WFA course\, they are covered far more extensively\, and there is much more hands-on practice. Additional topics\, such as CPR\, are also included. \nHow does the class work?\nIn this summertime course all lessons\, hands-on practice\, and scenarios occur outside on our wild campus which is surrounded by national forest and at 4000′ on the shoulder of Spruce Knob. Camp out in a tent or sleep in our dorms or yurts on campus. \nAbout the instructor\nOur WFR course\, the only offered in West Virginia\, is taught by Matt Rosefsky from SOLO (Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities). Matt is a long-time instructor who is dedicated to leading our classes at the Spruce Knob Mountain Center. Participation is limited so you are guaranteed a small group size and course curriculum geared toward individual interests of the students in attendance. \nWho is the WFR course for?\nThe WFR is the perfect course for anyone working in a position of leadership in an outdoor setting or for individuals who want a high level of wilderness medical training for extended personal backcountry trips or expeditions. \nCourse Options and Costs\nWFR course only: $875 Includes course\, tent space\, access to bath house (price goes up to $900 on July 1st) \nMeals:  $36 additional per night (3 meals per night\, 8 or 9 nights depending on arrival) \nLodging Options: \nBeds in the dorm $15 additional per night (8 or more nights depending on arrival and departure) \nPrivate yurt: $60 additional per night. Available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

SUMMARY:Fall V.A.R. Gathering of the National Speleological Society
DESCRIPTION:Century-old West Virginia farmhouse at 3500′ elevation. A community of cavers have frequented this site for more than 50 years. (photo: John Taylor) \nCome spend a weekend at the Spruce Knob Mountain Center\, exploring multiple caves in the four county region with other spelunkers. Maps and descriptions will appear in our guidebook. Details remain to be worked out but possibilities include such familiar caves as Sinks of Gandy\, Stillhouse\, Nelson\, Kee\, Flowerpot\, Sharp\, and Crossroads\, among others. We need guided trips to appropriate caves and appeal to cavers willing to lead trips to favorite caves they know well. Overlap with past VARs is inevitable but we expect that several will be new to many VAR cavers. A geriatric trip has been suggested. Specifics will appear on the website soon.
