Fabulous Course!
Great staff & support people!
I learned not to have tunnel vision for one tiny or non-life -threatening problem.
The gross medical photos prepared me to not freak out in the field. I learned the steps to follow in every situation and how to prioritize.
Thank you.

What students say...

"Overall a remarkable experience!
The experience of the leaders and their patient,
direct input went beyond my expectations.
The time spent at the lodge is, of course, always a treat.
If that's not enough, just the food alone was worth the price of admission.
A million thanks."
- Tom R.

 

"(The Wilderness First Aid Course) is truly an incredible experience. Once you take it, you will question why anyone would go into the wilderness without having taken it."
- Larry S.

 

"You'd think that after 30+ years of hiking/mountaineering/rockclimbing and 4 or 5 or (who knows?) 6 WFACs, I'd be done learning.
But noooooo!

It was a wonderful class. Once again, I learned a lot (albeit, flat on my back, very wet ground underneath me, snow falling on my face, my would-be rescuers apparently unaware that hypothermia would kill me way before a closed fracture...).
WTC is a great class for participants. WFAC is the best of all possible classes for leaders.
"
- Ron C.

 

"Thank you so much, Steve. It was a life-changing class and potentially life-saving. I can't wait to come back as a victim for my next time around."
- Gina B.

 

"This team is awesome! I so appreciate your dedication to quality instruction while keeping it fun. The food was incredible! All volunteers sooo friendly and obviously supportive of the program."
- Karen F.

 

"I remember the first time I witnessed an accident
in the wilderness. I felt helpless. If you lead trips,
you owe it to yourself to learn how to deal with injurites.
WFAC is an outstanding class--an absolute can't-miss
for any outings leader."
- Ron C.

 

"WFAC...Don't leave home without it"
- Darrick D.

 

"The victim scenarios are realistic,
appropriately stressful, and very well thought-out.
"
- Ed C.

 

"The combination of classroom lectures,
skill building sessions and scenarios,
delivered by instructors who are...
knowledgeable in their field…
and are supportive of beginning level
students, made for a truly enriching experience"
- Howard K.
