Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply is proud to sponsor another Wilderness First Aid (or “WFA”) course with the National Outdoor Leadership School (or “NOLS”) this year. Participants can prepare for the unexpected with this fun, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine. If you like to take short trips relatively close to medical resources, enjoy weekend family outdoor activities or recreate outdoors, this course is for you. 

You'll learn the Patient Assessment System, how to provide effective first aid treatments for injuries and illnesses common in the outdoors, how to manage environmental emergencies, and how to make appropriate evacuation decisions. You will spend half your time practicing skills and participating in realistic scenarios. Participants learn both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather, so come prepared for wet, muddy, cold or hot environments!

This course is approved by such organizations as the American Camp Association, Boy Scouts of America, the United States Coast Guard, and other state and federal agencies.
