The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course will help you prepare for the unexpected. This fast paced, hands-on training is designed to meet the needs of trip leaders, camp staff, outdoor enthusiasts and individuals working in remote locations. It will introduce you to caring for people who become ill or injured far from definitive medical care. Classroom lectures and demonstrations are combined with realistic scenarios where mock patients will challenge you to integrate your learning. At the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations.

Participants must attend both full day sessions in order to receive their training certificate. Participants receive Wilderness Pocket Guide.

Space is limited and advanced registration is required.

Current Adult CPR/AED or higher certification is a required prerequisite for this course.
