Good first aid skills are some of the most important skills you can possess. There is no doubt that you will find yourself in need of first aid skills to help yourself and or others many times throughout your life. No one heads out on a hike or camping trip expecting to get injured. The suddenness and unpredictability of wilderness emergencies means that we have to anticipate what could happen and prepare for that outcome. What will you do when you or someone you care about is injured in the backcountry? Will you be prepared with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to help?

Some of the best places to explore are “off the beaten path”. Unfortunately this also means that we’re farther from medical care if we, or someone we know, is injured. This two-day class will teach you best practices when addressing minor and major injuries and illnesses until higher medical care is available. Not only will having these skills make you and your family’s experiences safer, but you’ll be in a better position to help yourself and others when the need inevitably arises.
