Advanced Wilderness First Aid (AWFA)

Minimum 6, maximum 18 participants

Location: Prince George (details to be announced).

Four and a half days, over the course of two weekends (June 18-20, 26-27). May involve an overnight experience the night of June 29!  

There are wilderness emergencies that require first aid skills, decision making, leadership, and wilderness survival skills... and sometimes urban disasters that need similar expertise.  Advanced Wilderness First Aid is essential in any disaster situation. Too often we depend on hospitals and paramedics and in remote settings, what if they are unable to reach you because of washed out roads and bridges, wildfires, snow storms, or landslides?
