Colorado Adventure Point offers a variety of classes for groups of five or more participants. We can arrange private classes at any time - just ask!

Wilderness First Aid

Guided by our ECSI certified instructor, participants will earn their wilderness first aid certification. Students must pass an examination at the end of class to be certified. The Wilderness First Aid (WFA), two-day training course includes a series of short lectures and realistic practice scenarios that help students master the central concepts of wilderness medicine. This course teaches students how to respond and manage patients in an emergency for up to four hours or until a higher level of care arrives.

    Archery

    Archery is like any other Martial Art: It relies on control of the body and the spirit.

    At Donald E. Scott Colorado Adventure Point (CAP), our instructor will lead you in meditation to improve your skill at Archery through mastering your self-control and your focus. This empowering class will teach you how to shoot a bow and arrow while also reinforcing your self-discipline.

    All equipment is provided and no experience with archery is required, just a willingness to listen and ask questions.
