Description
Blakeley is a partner with several local search and rescue teams. These non-profit volunteer organizations provide vital trained personnel and resources to law enforcement, fire rescue, US Coast Guard, and other agencies in our region during emergency situations. During this special series of programs, children will be introduced to a few of the most basic survival principles that could mean life or death in the unfortunate event they became lost or separated from adults in the outdoors. They will also get a chance to meet some of the specially-trained dogs which assist professional rescue teams in locating lost or injured individuals in wilderness settings.
