Prepare for outdoor adventures with this comprehensive American Red Cross Wilderness First Aid course, open to both teens and adults. This training covers troops who travel to areas where a hospital or EMT is 30 minutes away from their destination.
Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors, this training supports completion of key steps toward earning their First Aid badges while building confidence in responding to emergencies when professional medical care is not immediately available.
Adult volunteers will gain valuable advanced first aid skills to support safe travel, camping, and troop activities. Through hands-on practice and realistic scenarios, participants will learn how to assess injuries, respond to environmental emergencies, and provide effective care in remote or outdoor settings.
Participants will have the option to stay overnight for an extra cost of $25.
By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to keep themselves and others safe on every adventure.
