Wilderness First Aid Certification

Saturday, October 5, 2024 8:30 a.m. to Sunday, October 6 at 5:30 p.m.

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is for anyone who wants to learn life-saving skills in a variety of environments.

This course is designed for remote environments (outdoors, disaster, travel, rural areas) and focuses on improvising with limited resources. You will learn:

  • How to recognize and effectively manage a medical emergency
  • Treatment for a variety of injuries
  • Bleeding and infection control
  • Splinting fractures
  • How to handle environmental emergencies such as heat exhaustion, lightning strikes, drowning, snake bites, and more

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts; those who travel internationally or to remote areas for fieldwork, business or pleasure; homesteaders and those wanting to be more self-sufficient, those living in rural locations; students in the medical field who would like hands-on training; and anyone who would like to learn first aid skills. The knowledge and skills gained here are useful for everyone (including city dwellers who live within 10 minutes of a hospital!).

This course can also be used as a recertification for SOLO Wilderness First Responders.
