Educational Workshops

One place has opened up in this course. Contact the organizer below if you are interested.

This 16-hour course concentrates on the basics of packaging and transporting patients and managing life and limb threats in remote environments. It includes prevention and treatment of common environmental problems like hypothermia and heat exhaustion and stroke.
The Wilderness First Aid programs are designed for the recreational outdoor enthusiast, club leader, and the professional guide. These courses are based on the principals of wilderness care and first aid.

** The WCA highly recommends that people organizing back country canoe trips take this course. Especially on multiple day trips where 911 help isn't accessible. Also, it doesn't hurt to have multiple people trained on any trip.
