NEW: NO FIRST AID COURSE

All staff must have a current Standard First Aid with CPR-C certificate. Due to a lack of interest, Camp Tanner will NOT be arranging a certification or re-certification course. Candidates should make their own arrangements to take the course as soon as possible. We recommend St. John Ambulance, Red Cross and the Lifesaving Society as reputable providers of this course: their websites are linked below.
