Our 16-hour Wilderness First Aid Course is the best and most comprehensive course of its kind to offer relevant and realistic first-aid training for seasonal outdoor activities or short term wilderness endeavors and pursuits.

The course is taught by professional instructors with significant patient care and backcountry experience.
