Wilderness and Remote First Aid and CPR is required for high adventure trips.  This is a 19 hour course over 2 days and you must attend the full time frame. The training is good for 2 years.

This program is designed to teach individuals how to deal with emergency situations by using first aid skills in a delayed-help environment. The program is based on the 2010 Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines and offers enhanced content and topics to meet OSHA’s Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Training Programs and has been updated to reflect the latest emergency cardiovascular care science.

The Wilderness and Remote First Aid program is appropriate for audiences from youth-serving organizations as well as adults who participate in outdoor recreational activities or who work in wilderness or remote settings where emergency medical services (EMS) response is more than 1 hour away.

The program content has been revised to encompass ECCU 2015 and current guidelines by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council.
