Skills for Life
Designed to teach participants important skills, Campus Recreation offers a variety of instructional programs open to community members. Ongoing programs include Learn to Skate, Learn to Climb and American Red Cross certifications, while certifications for fitness instructors and outdoor recreation leaders may be offered occasionally. Check back often for dates, registration information and more!
CPR, AED and First Aid
This course trains participants on skills from the American Red Cross for Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR and AED. All participants who register will be emailed a link 10 days prior to the class for an online training that must be completed prior to the 90 minute in-person skills check. The online course walks participants through lifesaving steps in many different situations to ensure a base knowledge is met. The in-person skills check ensures the physical portion of the certification can be met. Questions? Email us at campusrec@uwrf.edu.
