Cold Water Safety Central Penninsula Cold Water Safety Central Penninsula

We had a wonderful day of learning at the Central Peninsula Cold Water Survival class held in partnership with The Challenger Learning Center. Students practiced putting on floatation devices, boarding a survival raft, and even got to be lifted by a crane! They learned about the dangers of boating in Alaska's cold waters and the different safety strategies to prevent or respond to an emergency.
