Spartan Alert
The NOLS Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course will help you prepare for the unexpected. This fast-paced, hands-on training is designed to meet the needs of trip leaders, camp staff, outdoor enthusiasts, and individuals working in remote locations. It will introduce you to caring for people who become ill or injured far from definitive medical care. Classroom lectures and demonstrations are combined with realistic scenarios where mock patients will challenge you to integrate your learning. At the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations.
Taught by seasoned instructors in a two day format, WFA courses are held on a weekend. Learning takes place both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather conditions. Come prepared for wet, muddy, cold, or hot environments.
The 16-20 hour WFA course includes many advanced topics that other programs leave out such as reduction of dislocations and epinephrine administration.
WFA is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Outdoor Adventures cannot hold spots without payment. All forms and payment are due at the time of registration. Completed registration packet can be submitted in the following via:
