A Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to medical emergencies in remote or wilderness environments where professional medical help may be delayed or unavailable.

The curriculum typically includes hands-on scenarios and simulations to simulate real-life wilderness situations, emphasizing improvisation and resourcefulness with limited medical supplies. Wilderness First Aid courses are essential for outdoor enthusiasts, wilderness guides, and anyone venturing into remote areas where access to medical care is limited.

Lunch is provided on Saturday and Sunday. If you need accommodations, you are welcome to camp in a campsite. You should plan accordingly for the weather forecast.
