Wilderness First Aid & CPR Course

Hi Hikers,
I took their WFA class back in November, and it was great. I highly recommend it.

A WFA class is worth taking for anyone who frequents the outdoors, whether you are a climber, skier, mountaineer, or hiker. And it's not just for those heading into deep wilderness - Based on my personal experience running meetup hikes mostly in the NYC area, most injuries happen within just a few hours' drive of the city!

The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is an introduction to wilderness medicine and basic life support skills. This is a hands-on, scenario-based training focused 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. The WFA is ideal training for outdoor enthusiasts, camp counselors, and backcountry trip leaders.
