KamloopsSearch And Rescue
ADVENTURESMART
This is a three part educational series presented by members of Kamloops Search and Rescue Society. Sponsored jointly by the British Columbia Search and Rescue Society, the Provincial Emergency Program, and the Canadian Search and Rescue Secretariat, the programs provide educational safety awareness for all users of our great outdoors.- 'Hug-a-Tree and Survive' is targeted for all elementary age children (gr K-7). The video and talk, with emphasis on telling a responsible adult where they are going and staying in one spot (hug a tree) until the searchers come and find them takes about 1 hr. We usually have some hand-outs for these children.
- 'Snow Safety' is targeted at gr 3-7 and stresses safety and courtesy on the ski hill. The 'Respect' video and clip of an avalanche with presentation takes just under 1 hr. and concentrates on the 'in bounds' expectations and general rules.
- 'Survive Outside' is a more general discussion of personal safety under all varieties of outdoor adventures. This is more for persons that are 'on their own' so far as planning and carrying out their personal or group activity. The emphasis is on preparedness; in terms of equipment, awareness and attitude.
