whaT IS weLLNeSS? wellness means overall well-being. It combines the mental, emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of a person’s life. each aspect of wellness can affect the overall quality of life, so it’s important to pay attention to each area. emotional wellness begins with managing your emotions in a constructive way, appreciating the feelings of others, and understanding and respecting your own feelings and values. environmental wellness begins with being aware of how your behavior impacts the earth and how the physical world impacts you, while demonstrating a commitment to a healthy planet. financial wellness begins with knowing where your money comes from and where it’s going, understanding your financial situation, and preparing you for financial changes. Intellectual wellness begins with recognizing your creative and cognitive abilities, growing intellectually, valuing lifelong learning, and responding positively to intellectual challenges. Occupational wellness begins with understanding your strengths, skills, values, and interests for your career and maintaining a balanced life between your work and your personal life. physical wellness begins with caring for your body and recognizing your need for physical activity, healthy foods, and sleep in order to stay well now and in the future. Social wellness begins with developing a sense of connection and belonging, maintaining healthy relationships, enjoying being with others, and finding a well-developed support system. Spiritual wellness begins with finding purpose, value, and meaning in your life.

Bouldering Bouldering is climbing without roped protection on the wall or boulder. Climbers only climb as high as they are willing to fall, and emphasis is placed on traversing as you climb. It is a good introduction to the sport of climbing, requires little training and equipment, and is excellent for building strength and endurance. Falls are protected with “crash pads� under the climber. UNO student & Rec member

This class is intended for prospective ski patrollers as well as outdoor enthusiasts. Subjects covered include an overview of human anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, soft and hard tissue injuries, environmental illness and injuries, sudden illnesses, triage, accident scene management, and long term care. OEC certification requires a valid CPR for the Professional Rescuer certification. OVC Volunteer Trip Leaders and Mt. Crescent Ski Patrol candidates receive a significant discount.

OEC Refresher Course The Outdoor Emergency Care Refresher is a great way to annually review important medical skills and knowledge learned in the OEC class. The Refresher requires you to demonstrate competence of 1/3 of the original class material. Completion of a Refresher extends your certification one year, effectively re-certifying in the entire course after three years. OEC Refresher information, study guide, and scenario discussion are available in June from www.nsp.org, on the Education/OEC page. You must complete the scenario discussion worksheets before the Refresher. It is best to start preparing early so that you are comfortable with the skills. Skipping an annual Refresher invalidates continuous recertification of the entire course, requiring the certificate holder to retake the class. Valid OEC certification also requires a current CPR for the Professional Rescuer certification. Estimated registration fee for Non-Ski Patrol Members is $56 (pay on site with cash or check). Class
