People get hurt\, sick\, or lost. The temperature drops\, the wind picks up\, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Prepare for the unexpected. Wilderness First Aid (WFA) builds a solid foundation in backcountry medical care. This 16-hour course teaches the essential skills needed to respond to emergencies in remote environments—where calling 911 isn’t an option. By learning a few basic skills\, you can make the difference between a good and bad outcome – and maybe even save a life. \nWilderness First Aid is the perfect course for outdoor enthusiasts who want basic first-aid training for short trips with family\, friends\, or outdoor groups. Hands-on\, practical\, and fun—WFA isn’t just life-saving training\, it’s an unforgettable experience. We are excited to have Nancy Zane\, a Registered Maine Guide and owner of NorthStar Adventures\, return to teach this course!  \nYou’ll Learn How to Assess and Respond to a Wide Range of Scenarios\, Including: \n\nPatient Assessment & Scene Safety\n\nLearn how to evaluate injuries\, prioritize care\, and stay safe while helping others.\n\n\nSoft Tissue & Musculoskeletal Injuries\n\nIncludes fracture stabilization\, wound care\, sprains\, strains\, and burn management.\n\n\nEnvironmental Emergencies\n\nManage heat and cold-related illnesses\, lightning strikes\, near-drowning\, and more.\n\n\nMedical Emergencies\n\nGain confidence responding to allergic reactions\, shock\, asthma\, diabetic emergencies\, and other common backcountry medical issues.\n\n\nSurvival Skills & Evacuation Strategies\n\nLearn how to keep yourself and others safe while awaiting rescue or self-evacuating. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a weekend hiker or an outdoor guide\, this course empowers you to think clearly\, act confidently\, and care for others when it matters most. \nYou will leave this course with a SOLO Wilderness First Aid certification\, valid for two years. Wilderness First Responder recertification will be available to participants for an additional $15.00 per person. You must have a SOLO WFR to recertify with a WFA course.  If you have a WFR from a company other than SOLO\, you can only recertify with a WFR recertification course. \nCPR certification will be available immediately after class for an additional $25 per person. \nOpen not just for women!
