Wilderness First Aid Training

DANBURY — Over the weekend of May 14–15 Eastern Mountain Sports and The Outing Club of Greater Danbury in cooperation with Solo will present a Wilderness First Aid Training Course. Preregistration due by April 30.

Wilderness first aid training stresses preparedness and prevention, encompasses all phases of off-road emergencies, and focuses on extended care issues in prolonged transport situations.

Very few first aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a rural, wilderness, or extended care setting. Classroom lectures and discussions are supplemented by practical work and problem solving exercises.

The emphasis is on hands-on experience, but training scenarios are also an important part of this training. For more information or to preregister call 203-482-1295
