Part 3: NABat Hands-On Equipment Practice

For the 2024 season we will offer a few in-person sessions throughout the state where we will have equipment on hand to go over and practice with. If unable to make these sessions, we ask that you set up a video call with either your regional coordinator of KC to go over equipment once you get your kit.

Dates for In-Person sessions will be announced as they are set. Dates will be planned for late May and possibly June.

Once you receive your box of equipment, if you were unable to attend a group meet-up, contact your regional coordinator or KC for a quick review of the equipment and a few additional tips.
