We've all seen news stories like this: "Two
children were reported missing after wandering from their home yesterday
afternoon. Kimberly, age 12, and Brandon, age 4, had last been seen
playing in front of their residence about 4:30 p.m. yesterday. The Police
Department was notified about the missing children late in the afternoon
yesterday, and began the search; police brought in the N.H. Fish and
Game Department at approximately 10 p.m. Last night about 50 searchers
combed the woods searching the area, including Fish and Game Conservation
Officers; eight dog teams from New England Canine Search and Rescue;
Police, Fire and Rescue personnel, and Upper Valley Search and Rescue
and other volunteers. A New Hampshire State Police helicopter was brought
in to assist in the search this morning. At approximately 8 a.m., one
of the dog teams from New England Canine Search and Rescue located the
children in a wooded area about 3/4 mile from their home.They had spent
the night lost in the woods, with high winds and air temperatures in
the 20s. The children are being evacuated this morning. Their condition
is being evaluated." |

Children
need to know how to be safe in the woods and parents need to be sure that every
outing is appropriate for the child's ability and interest level, while respecting
the abilities and limitations of each person. These educational workshops began
following the tragic death of a boy lost in the woods in Lincoln, NH in the
fall of 2003. This will be the sixth workshop and the second time it will be
hosted at the AMC's Cardigan Lodge.
The main focus for children is to teach them how to stay safe in a situation
where they are separated from the group or find themselves lost off the trail.
When that happens, there are several things that children can be taught to keep
them out of danger and improve their chances of reuniting with their party.
Bring your kids and learn the basics of staying found in this free workshop!
This program is designed for 4-12 yr olds but all are welcome. There is no cost
and there are no materials required. Bring a picnic lunch. A short hike or two will be offered in the
afternoon.
