Wilderness First Aid.
Wilderness environments create special situations not usually encountered in an urban or suburban environment. The ASHI Wilderness First Aid class gives first aid providers in a remote outdoor setting better preparation to respond when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person. This comprehensive sixteen (16) hour wilderness first aid course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, 2017 Edition.

Wilderness First Aid is available for groups of five (5) or more. Ten (10) students is our cut off point for a single instructor.
Ten (10) or more students require an additional instructor, and will incur an additional fee.
