Want to learn how to treat common outdoor injuries while in the wilderness? Then sign up for this 2-day, 16 hour Wilderness First Aid class. You will learn how to assess and stabilize a patient and treat their injury. Learn how to use a first aid kit as well as your camping supplies to treat a sprained ankle, broken bones, cuts, medical emergencies, heat exhaustion, hypothermia, and snake bites. The class will be taught by David Castaldini (and one other instructor) who has been teaching this course to raft guides on the Ocoee River and has 15 years of experience as a member of the National Ski Patrol.
