Wilderness First Aid (WFA) at Raven Wilderness School 16-17 May 2026

$295.00

Learn how to manage an emergency in the backcountry from a SOLO certified instructor. This comprehensive two-day course is a fast paced, hands-on training program. It’s designed to meet the needs of hikers, skiers, hunters, fisherman, trip leaders, camp staff, and other outdoor enthusiasts who recreate in remote locations. It will introduce you to caring for people who have become ill or injured far from definitive medical care. 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 and receive a Stop The Bleed®, SOLO WFA and BLS/ CPR certification. This course meets the requirements to become a Registered Maine Guide and may also act as a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Recertification class.
