Outdoor Adventure Course Saves Lives
DALLAS, TX (Ammoland.Com) – Teaching children and young adults life-saving techniques is a regular occurrence in hundreds of Outdoor Adventures classes promoted by Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation, based in Dallas, Texas.
Recently, they learned just how their teachings saved a young life from a family’s firsthand account. Due to the first aid/CPR class offered in the course, a student was able to save the life of another from drowning.
In April, a 5-year-old girl was found lifeless in a neighbor’s swimming pool, Upon hearing the news, a girl who had attended Outdoor Adventures class last year as an 8th grader rushed over and administered CPR until the paramedics arrived, according to the email written by the family of the young girl who gave CPR.
“She helped to force blood to her brain and played a crucial role in saving her life,” the email read. “The little girl was taken off the ventilator yesterday and will make a full recovery.”
According to the family, this was an invaluable lesson that changed the life of not only the daughter, but also that of the girl who nearly drowned.
“We are eternally grateful for your class and all she learned from you, which has left a lasting impression on her,” the family continued in their letter.
“We take great pride in the positive impact Outdoor Adventures has impressed upon thousands of students, we are delighted to have aided in saving a young person’s life,” said Sean McLelland, executive director of Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation.
