WILDERNESS FIRST AID TRAINING
Prepare for the unexpected with this engaging, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine, taught over two days. This is a great training for people who want to help lead overnight Sierra Club Outings (e.g. camping trips), and/or outings in the backcountry! It's also an awesome option for folks who take short trips relatively close to medical resources, work at wilderness camps, enjoy weekend family outdoor activities, or recreate outdoors.

This course is appropriate for people of all experience levels, and is best suited for those who recreate outdoors where EMS response can be expected in a timely manner (fewer than eight hours). You'll learn the Patient Assessment System, how to provide effective first aid treatments for injuries and illnesses common in the outdoors, and how to make appropriate evacuation decisions.

You'll learn both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather, so come prepared for wet, muddy, cold or hot environments!

This training will be FUN and is a great way to get to know other Sierra Club members/supporters, connect with other nature lovers, and learn some safety skills!
