Education and Fundraising Events
Our team has an AdventureSmart presentation team to promote safety and the outdoors. We can present the following courses for free:
Hug a Tree and Survive (Ages 5-11)
Survive Outside (Age 12 to Adult)
Paddle Smart (Age 12 to Adult)
Please visit the Education page for more information on these presentations.
We can provide logistics and communication help for large events. For example: we’ve even parked hundreds of vehicles at the local airshow in short period of time. In return, event sponsors have made a donations to the team for the members time and expertise.

If you have an upcoming event and could use our help, please use the Event Assistance Request Form to contact us. We will discuss the event with our executive meetings and then share the request with the team to gauge availability. If possible, we do request that a honorarium/donation be made to our team for our team member’s time and effort.
SAR Hall Meeting ROom
Status: Ongoing
Upgrades to the upstairs training/meeting room are being completed.
Side-By-Side Transport (UTV1)
Status: Completed
In Fall of 2017 we completed the purchase of a Polaris Ranger Crew 900. The 6 seat side-by-side will allow us to deploy a search team into the field much faster. The unit has been equipped with tracks and can also be configured with wheels.
Lightbar, scene lighting and portable radios have been installed.
In Winter 2018/2019 custom work was completed on the unit to add the ability to secure a stretcher inside of the cab (extended out the back into the storage area, which has an enclosure). This project required custom work and an extra roll bar to be installed in the storage canopy at back of the unit for safety. This update allowed us to quick and safely transport a patient out of the bush while keeping them warm with the unit’s internal heater.
A 6 member team will be able to deploy to the field in the unit and when it's switched over to medical transport mode there will be room for a driver, medic and patient.
