Our Basic Aid Training Program introduces children (4^th-6^th grade) to safety information and first aid procedures for breathing difficulties, bleeding, poisoning, burns, shock and other emergencies. Each lesson is approximately 1.5 hours.

The F.A.C.T. (First Aid for Children Today) program is a fun path for children (K-3) to discover ways to help themselves and others, be aware of dangers, prevent injuries and harm, and respond when injuries do happen. The program is broken into six lessons, approximately 1.5 hours each.

The purpose of Whales Tales is to teach children (K-6) about safe behavior in and around water. This program does not require access to the water.
