We do use stage makeup\, which does not always wash out of clothing well. Basically\, prepare to be messy! We will be going outside regardless of weather conditions for practice\, so be sure to be prepared! We strongly suggest bringing a folding camp chair (we have found that some folks prefer them\, and we may do some classroom sessions outside\, if it is not raining).  We encourage you to bring an old tee shirt or two to cut up as part of our impromptu supplies practice. \nMeals: We strongly suggest bringing a sack lunch\, as we will only have 45 minutes total for lunch. You’re welcome to bring a cooler with your own food/drink. The Museum (classroom site) has a gift shop that sells simple snacks & beverages. \nLodging: There are nearby hotels & Airbnb. \nLocation: National Great Rivers Museum\, 2 Lock and Dam Way\, East Alton\, IL 62024. \nTaught by Tom Burroughs\, SwiftwaterRescue@gmail.com\, 479-595-1655 \nACA Safety and Rescue Committee Chair \nACA L-5 Advanced Swiftwater Rescue Instructor Trainer Educator \nACA L-4 Whitewater Kayak Instructor Trainer Educator\nACA L-4 Whitewater Rafting Instructor Trainer \n2015 ACA “Excellence in Instruction” National Award Recipient \nITRA Level 3V Swiftwater Rescue Instructor \nNREMT/EMT-W/MPIC – Wilderness Medicine Instructor \nTeam Leader- Washington CO AR Search and Rescue team\nDirector\, Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators / Clear Creek Paddlesports \nMember- Wilderness Medical Society \nPlease read the letter that will be sent to registrants from the instructor and reach out if you have any questions\, to Tom about the course (see above); for other logistics\, to Sally Haywood 314-374-9206 ; or Melissa Sauter 314-681-9372   \nCost: $225.
