The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is a 2-day, 16–20 hour introduction to medical care in remote environments. Perfect for hikers, campers, and group leaders, it teaches practical skills in patient assessment, wound care, splinting, and managing environmental emergencies such as heat illness, hypothermia, and altitude issues. Blending classroom instruction with hands-on scenarios, this course builds confidence and self-reliance in the outdoors. While not as extensive as the Wilderness First Responder (WFR), WFA provides a solid foundation and is often the minimum requirement for trip leaders and outdoor educators.
