Our team had a busy day! We hold an annual mock search to make sure our skills are up to speed. Our young patient’s scenario was he wrecked his bike and had a broken arm. He was packaged and transported back to CP.

After all that, our KCMR team grabbed rope bags to go practice skills on the rocks. Always keeping up skills for when the time is needed.

Our spring academy was a success! This past weekend, we hosted our SAR basic academy and 26 new members graduating with flying colors.

Along with the students, we trained 14 more academy instructors. These new instructors have a wealth of combined knowledge and will help continue teaching members valuable skills.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who stepped up to help support the mission and community.
