Wilderness First Aid; 8hrs or 16hrs
Why Take Wilderness First Aid?
Wilderness First Aid is a community-level course designed for situations where professional medical help is an hour or more away. Unlike standard first aid, this training focuses on the unique challenges of managing illness and injury in remote environments when emergency services are not immediately available.
Whether you are navigating long trails, remote waterways, or miles of road, environmental factors like extreme temperatures, wind, and darkness can complicate care. This course will teach you how to improvise equipment and apply creative treatments when communication and resources are limited.
This is an intensive program featuring hands-on practice through scenarios, case studies, and simulations. Please come prepared for the weather, as we will spend significant time training both indoors and outdoors regardless of conditions, barring severe inclement weather.
Course Cost: $160 – $225
Course Length: (must attend all required hours and skills)
