"We have the first-ever in the nation kayaking wilderness first aid geared toward kayakers that do not usually backpack. The course is taught by a certified WEMT and also a long-time paddler. The course covers common injuries related to paddling and how to treat them until advanced medical personnel arrives.
Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can distinguish between a good outcome and a bad one and maybe even save a life. We immerse participants through lectures and hands-on scenarios. If you want to “talk” about Wilderness First Aid, this class is not for you. All scout wilderness first aid courses are taught by currently registered adult scout leaders with years of experience and are currently active duty emergency medical providers themselves!
The Wilderness First Aid course is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast or trip leader who wants a basic level of first aid training for short trips with family, friends, and outdoor groups. All scouting organizations approve our Wilderness First Aid course with a unique American Red Cross QR code that you can verify on the Red Cross website.
Wilderness First Aid course is 16 hours long (two days). It focuses on the basic skills of Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies, Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries, and Medical Emergencies. We go into depth about stabilization and treatment for backcountry injuries.
