In just two days, you'll have the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations. This course is ideal for trip leaders, camp staff, outdoor enthusiasts, TRTA volunteers and members, and individuals in remote locations. WMI's course is pre-approved by such organizations as the American Camping Association, the United States Forest Service, and other governmental agencies. This course does not include CPR. The cost for the Wilderness First Aid is $165 dollars. The tuition fee covers textbooks, syllabus, equipment, and certification cards.
