Backcountry Safety Class – Kincaid Elementary School

Alaska Safe Riders Backcountry Safety Class

Kingcaid Elementary School | 1:00–2:00 PM

Alaska Safe Riders is proud to partner with local Alaskan schools to deliver engaging, age-appropriate backcountry safety education designed to empower the next generation of outdoor users. This upcoming workshop at Kingcaid Elementary School will introduce students to foundational safety skills and awareness concepts that help keep them safe while enjoying Alaska’s outdoors—whether on foot, riding ATVs or snowmachines, or spending time on the water.

Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, students will learn the importance of preparation, smart decision-making, and teamwork, while building respect for Alaska’s environment and wildlife. Our goal is to foster confidence, awareness, and a strong safety culture that students can carry with them as they grow.

Workshop topics include:
— The importance of proper planning and preparedness
— Identifying and avoiding potential hazards
— Key concepts of avalanche awareness and ATV/snowmachine safety
— Water safety fundamentals
— Effective communication
— Basic survival skills
— Environmental and wildlife impact, awareness, and avoidance
— Wilderness first aid principles
— Proper steps to follow in an emergency

These programs are made possible through the generous support and collaboration of our sponsors and partners. Alaska Safe Riders is incredibly grateful to Mat-Su Health Foundation, The Alaska Community Foundation, Alaska State Troopers, Donlin Gold, and the Alaska Avalanche Information Center for their commitment to youth education, community safety, and outdoor stewardship across Alaska.
