The advanced students will have the opportunity to work through more complicated scenarios at height. \n\n\n\nLawn chairs and water bottles are recommended.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: April 28\, 2023\, 4:00pm \n\n\n\n6.5 ISA and TCIA CTSP CEUs available. \n\n\n\nOther Info: \n\n\n\n\nLunch will be provided.
