TCTC Club Picnic / Safety Training / Camping

Saturday, July 22
Pymatuning State Park

Safety Training & Picnic & Club Meeting:
Pymatuning State Park (PA) – Espyville Launch
23531 S Lake Rd, Linesville, PA 16424

Building on the positive feed-back from last year, we are returning to the same location for the club’s picnic and safety session. This year, our training will focus on wilderness safety and survival, focusing on the special situations and hazards that paddlers may encounter. Our own club vice president, Mark Vallecorsa, who has worked in emergency medicine for many years, both in the field as an EMT and in the emergency room as an RN, will lead us through first aid and CPR training. This training will be informal and provided free of charge to club members. If any member desires a certification card for CPR, we are making arrangements to have testing and certification available for a fee of $25.00. Members opting for a certification card are responsible to pay the fee on the day of training. We plan to begin the training at 9am, and is to be followed by our picnic and meeting in the afternoon.

The club picnic will follow usual fashion, with the club providing hamburgers, hot dogs, and vege-burgers. Club members are asked to bring a side dish and / or dessert to share. Please bring your own beverages. There is electric service at the pavilion, and there are restrooms adjacent that have running water.

We do ask that members RSVP with their intentions for attending the safety training and / or picnic, and we need to hear from those who will be opting to obtain the CPR certification. Please RSVP ASAP, so as to help us plan accordingly.

CAMPING:
61489 W Lake Rd, Jamestown, PA 16134

We will again be camping at the Rustic Organized Group Tent Camp Site #8. This site is located at the group campground, which is part of the Jamestown campground. We can check in any time after 3pm on Thursday, July 20th and check out is Sunday July 23, by 3pm.

Please call Dustin Noel with any questions 724-301-4751.
