All NorthWoods staff are certified in wilderness first aid (WFA). Every two years, we hold a basic training program to freshen up on the basics ourselves and for the general public to arm themselves with preparedness.

Delivered by SOLO, the course:

• presents the basics of backcountry medical care and describes the basic steps of response and assessment
• provides an introduction to orthopedics and musculoskeletal injuries
• covers basic environmental emergencies and survival skills
• offers practice dressing soft-tissue injuries (make-believe) and addressing medical emergencies
