Wilderness First Aid

Adirondack Mountain Club, Long Island Chapter, Nassau County, Long Island.

Instructor: Ed Moran, Eastern Outdoor Experiences

This comprehensive 16 hour Wilderness First Aid certification course teaches practical skills that will enable you to respond to wilderness injuries and emergencies.

Wilderness environments create special situations not usually encountered in an urban or suburban environment. With ASHI Wilderness First Aid training, first aid providers in a wilderness setting will be better prepared to respond when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person. This comprehensive 16-hour course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, 2017 Edition.

Prerequisites

• Adult CPR and AED certification is a pre-requisite. If needed, CPR/AED training can be provided outside of WFA class hours. See Adult CPR-AED course details

Includes

• In person instruction and course materials
• Digital student book and certification card

This class is sponsored by the Long Island Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club. The cost is $180 for ADK members and $225 for non-members. The required CPR certification training for those needing it will be Saturday evening immediately after Saturday’s class ($40 for WFA attendees).
