What happens if someone gets hurt?
We generally see the same types of injuries that you would expect to see on the school playground, namely bumps, scrapes and bruises. Our staff is trained in Red Cross 1st Aid and CPR. We treat minor injuries on the spot and return the student to regular activities, monitoring them as needed. For more severe non emergency situations, we would transport a student and their teacher to Verdugo Hills Hospital Emergency Room. In the rare event of a serious emergency, we would call 911. There is a U.S. Forest Service fire station one mile from our site where paramedics are located, ambulance service is available within 15 minutes, and a Sheriff’s helicopter transport can arrive within a few minutes. Immediate attempts would be made to contact parents in the event of any injury requiring medical attention.
