Indoor and outdoor sessions will be included during this two-day course. This course can also be used to renew WILDERNESS FIRST RESPONDER. Please let us know if you are a WFR Recert. This course is recognized by the American Camp Association and will meet first aid requirements for accreditation. The tuition for staying at Agawam covers the cost of the course, all course materials, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday, and overnight accommodations in our rustic, screened cabins. The tuition for commuter covers the cost of the course, all course materials, and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. WFR recertification and CPR are additional costs.
The Main Idea fulfills a critical component of Agawam’s mission in youth development and its commitment to supporting the community. Boys are recommended by school principals, teachers, guidance counselors, clergy, and directors of youth organizations from across the state of Maine. To provide continuity and establish a connection with Agawam, boys are invited back until age 15, provided the camping relationship remains happy and positive. Wonder what volunteering is all about?
