This comprehensive, scenario-based 16-hour course teaches first aid providers to respond when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person in a remote outdoor setting. This course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, 2017 Edition.

 

Course Topics Include

• Preparation and Assessment

• Preventing and Caring for Injuries and Illnesses

• Environmental Hazards

• Other Wilderness Considerations

 

Recommended Attire and Gear

We recommend that you wear comfortable, athletic clothing. When training with tourniquets in courses including bleeding control training (i.e. First Aid, Stop Life Threatening Bleeding, Wilderness First Aid, AVERT), be aware that the velcro on tourniquets can ruin fabric that it touches. 

 

We recommend that you bring clothing and gear you may bring with you outdoors, such as a day pack, hiking poles, a sleeping pad and sleeping bag. We also recommend a camp chair as much of our WFA training takes place outdoors. You may bring a first aid kit to be evaluated and get any recommendations.
