What is Wilderness First Aid?

Let’s be real: adventure is awesome… until someone rolls an ankle 5 miles from the trailhead. That’s where you come in. Join Gearhouse for a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course this summer and learn how to keep calm, get creative, and handle emergencies when you're way beyond cell service. Whether you're hiking, biking, skiing, or just out there getting after it, WFA gives you the confidence and skills to take care of yourself and your crew when things don’t go as planned.

Bonus: you get to practice wrapping your friends in splints and pretending they’re unconscious. Who says first aid can’t be fun?
