WILDERNESS FIRST AID (WFA)

    A Great Introduction To Wilderness Medicine

    Overview

    Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is a fast-paced, hands-on, scenario-based course designed to prepare you to deal with injury and illness under less than ideal circumstances. It is generally the minimum certification for camp staffers and trip leaders, and a great introduction to wilderness medicine and basic life support skills.


    WFA is a great course, whether you already have standard first aid training or no first aid training at all. Our instructors combine lectures and realistic hands-on scenarios to challenge you, integrate your training, and teach you to make sound decisions in emergency situations.


    Some of the topics we will cover include scene safety assessment, airway management, bleeding control, fractures, spinal injuries, shock, wound management and patient packaging.


    This course includes American Heart Association CPR & AED.
