SOLO Wilderness First Responder Course

Yale Outdoors WFR Flier

 

Want to know more than just the basics of wilderness medicine? This spring’s Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course will go beyond elementary first-aid skills and give you a wide variety of techniques and tools for staying safe in the backcountry and on the trail.

Food and lodging will be provided for the duration of the course. Tuition is $725 as compared to closer to $900 through most other organizations.The Coastal Center is a beautiful place not only to learn how to be safe in the wilderness but spend the first few days of a new season (here’s hoping for warmer weather… and soon!).

The WFR curriculum includes: Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies and Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries, Medical Emergencies, and CPR.

To sign up for the course, call the Coastal Center at 203-878-7440 x502 or go to the Yale Outdoors website.

Limited scholarships are available based on demonstrated need. Contact emma.spence@yale.edu for the scholarship application, as well as with any questions.
