Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one – and maybe even save a life.

Wilderness First Aid is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast or trip leader who wants a basic level of first aid training for short trips with family, friends, and outdoor groups. It also meets ACA guidelines.

Instructor Gerry Brache will teach the 16-hour-long course (spanning two days), and focuses on the basic skills of: Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies, Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries, and Medical Emergencies. The course will be held on the Schoodic Institute campus in Wright Hall (classroom 110), from 8:00am – 5:00pm each day (June 5th and June 6th), with a 30-minute lunch break. An optional CPR Training and certification will be held on June 5th from 5:00pm – 7:30pm for an additional fee.

The event cost is $205.
