MRVBC NOLS Wilderness First Aid

Past event
Oct 26, 8 AM to 5 PM, Oct 27, 2024

MRVBC, in collaboration with Mad River Glen, is pleased to make this WFA course offering available in the Valley with instruction provided by NOLS.

Prepare for the unexpected with this fun, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine. If you like to take short trips relatively close to medical resources, enjoy weekend family outdoor activities, or recreate outdoors, this course is for you.

You'll learn the Patient Assessment System, how to provide effective first aid treatments for injuries and illnesses common in the outdoors, how to manage environmental emergencies, and how to make appropriate evacuation decisions. You will spend half your time practicing skills and participating in realistic scenarios.

NOLS Wilderness Medicine's WFA course is approved by such organizations as the American Camp Association, the United States Coast Guard, as well as other state and federal agencies.
