Consider attending a “combo” training weekend for those wanting Basic Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) training and/or Basic LERT Chainsaw training. 

The weekend of sessions at Camp Omega starts on Friday, October 24, with Basic LERT training on Friday afternoon/evening from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM.  (This session is especially for those who need to complete Basic LERT training, a requirement to take the Basic Chainsaw training.)  On Saturday, October 25, MN South District’s FIRST Basic Chainsaw training will take place from 8:00 AM to 4:00 – 5:00 PM.  If you wish to attend both and stay at Camp Omega, we’ll have housing options available!

PLEASE NOTE that if you already have your LERT Volunteer Basic Training, you do NOT have to take it again to take the chainsaw training!  You can simply register for the chainsaw training on Saturday.  As well, Friday’s LERT training is perfectly “stand-alone” without the chainsaw training, so please encourage your friends to attend if they have not taken the basic LERT training!
