Wilderness First Aid

Wilderness First Aid training (WFA) provides the base level of first aid training for various wilderness situations, which is valuable for both leading and participating in Scouting activities.

WFA covers a survey of topics and includes an adult CPR and AED review. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a certification card from ECSI for Wilderness First Aid.

Course cost is $150.00. Click to register and pay.

We use a blended learning model that includes online modules for written learning on your own time schedule, and a one-day skills class which features practice with scenarios. This blended learning style is convenient for busy Scouts and maximizes engagement in the in-person section through practical scenarios.

The course will be taught by Katie Davis. She has more than 10 years’ experience in emergency medical response and 7 years’ experience teaching WFA. She has co-lead Venture Crew expeditions, including a 360-mile whitewater rafting trip in the Canadian wilderness in 2016, and a Crew hiking trek in Peru in the summer of 2022.
