We are so excited to have Dave Pike and Charles Schiavone back to teach a Wilderness First Aid class at the Trillium Center.

Later in the year, Leah Wolfe will offer an Herbal First Aid course to complement this class.
This is a 16-hour class over two days including the following topics:
-Friday-
Introductions

Breakfast
Preparation and Assessment of the Problem

Preventing and Caring for Injuries (All Types)

Conclusion, Exam & Performance Evaluations
Total cost: $185
Fee includes tuition, 5 meals, lodging for Friday and Saturday night, WFA card, and books.
Your book will be sent to you when you register, so register early. We encourage you to read the book before the class. You and everyone else will have a better learning experience if we can focus on developing body memory and not focus on the book. The course ends with a 2-part exam (scenarios and written test) to ensure that you have integrated the information. You will receive a WFA card when you pass the exam. You will be better prepared in the event of an emergency!
