“We like to undertake this course every year for our members so that we are always prepared for the upcoming monsoon season that hits Yavapai County most summers”, said Josh Schmidt BCU Member and Lead Swiftwater Instructor.

Every member of the YCSO Backcountry Search and Rescue team is a volunteer, while on a call out or training for one, their time and skill is a gift to Yavapai County.
