Outdoor Courses Available

1. Wilderness First Aid (WFA)

Our Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is designed for the outdoor enthusiast, trip leader, raft guide, or land agency field staff who want more than what an urban first aid course provides.

The WFA is a great introduction to wilderness medicine and basic life support skills. This training focuses on prevention, assessment, and treatment of environmental illnesses, recognizing and stabilizing life threats caused by trauma, and calling for a rescue in the event of a wilderness emergency.

2. Wilderness First Responder (WFR)

The WFR course is the standard level of medical training for professional outdoor recreation industry field staff who work on multi-day, overnight trips in remote environments.

The WFR training is an excellent choice for search and rescue personnel and those working in remote industries or disaster relief.

Our robust, comprehensive, and practical curriculum has gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts, endurance athletes, and adventure travelers who push their boundaries in remote areas with limited resources, unreliable communication, and the potential for delayed or self-rescue.

About Being Prepared for Emergencies in the Outdoors.

Being trained to respond to medical emergencies in the outdoors is critically important because accidents in remote wilderness areas often occur far from professional help. Unlike urban settings where ambulances arrive quickly, help in the backcountry can take hours or even days to reach an injured person.

This delay makes immediate, informed action essential to stabilize victims and prevent minor issues from becoming life-threatening.

Wilderness first aid training equips individuals with specialized skills beyond standard first aid, such as assessing injuries in rugged terrain, improvising splints from available materials, managing environmental threats like hypothermia, heat illness, altitude sickness, or severe wounds, and making smart evacuation decisions. It builds confidence to act decisively—whether performing CPR, controlling bleeding, or treating shock—potentially saving lives when every minute counts.

Moreover, outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, guides, and families benefit from this preparation, turning bystanders into capable first responders. In an unpredictable natural environment where "bad things do happen," proper training fosters self-reliance, reduces panic, and enhances overall safety, allowing everyone to enjoy adventures with greater peace of mind.(App
