Wilderness First Aid 2020 - 16 hour course

Event Details

         Wilderness First Aid Training

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is the assessment of and treatment given to an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care by a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. Participants will learn how to assess, treat, and (when possible) contain emergencies within the scope of their training. One of the first things you’ll learn to do is establish control. Emergencies may be charged with emotion and confusion. Emergencies call for a leader to be directive, at least until the scene is safe and the patient is stabilized. This and many other important information and skills will be covered in this training. Youth and adult Scout leaders age 14 and over are invited to participate and earn their certification. This course is 16-hours plus scenario time, and requires participation in full to qualify as Wilderness First Aid trained. Class size limited to 24 participants.

 Dates: Saturday, January 11, through Sunday, January 12, 2019 at Camp LaNoChe. Beginning at 8am Saturday to about 3pm Sunday. Sign in will start at 7:30 am Saturday. Early arrival Friday night is acceptable for overnight stay, but registration will not begin until Saturday morning. Registration will close Wednesday, January 8 at 11:59pm No walk-ins will be accepted.
