First Aid - Day Camp

You work in a day camp? You want to learn the first aid standards required to react quickly in case of an emergency? 

 

With this 8-hour training, you will be able to recognize the signs and symptoms that children can exhibit, to then apply the necessary emergency measures. This course also includes a section on the safe supervision of children in an aquatic environment, which is a huge advantage for all camps that attend aquatic facilities.  

 

Separated in two levels of four hours each, you will learn how to identify injuries, how to provide basic treatments to immobilize a child’s injury, andhow to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). You will also learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on an adult and on a child, and how to react in case of a respiratory emergency or a cardiac arrest.
