Prepare for adventure with this hands-on course that serves as an introduction to wilderness medicine. This course, taught over 2 days, is a great way to become more familiar with first aid practices where traditional EMS isn’t available quickly. If you’re a camp counselor, aspiring wilderness guide, or just love taking trips in the outdoors, then this course is for you. You will learn how to assess a patient for injuries, how to provide effective first aid, how to stabilize patients for evacuation, and how to make the right evacuation decisions.

You’ll be practicing skills both indoors and out, so come prepared to be cold, dirty, or wet depending on the weather. This course will be taught by veteran staff with many years of experience handling emergencies in the wilderness, so you’ll be learning from the best.
