Our Class is OUTDOORS!
We take great pride in using our outdoor classroom places to enhance the content of the Wilderness First Aid program. Every minute spent outdoors adds real life value to the content. This varies on location and season. All courses will have a back-up indoor option for when weather is unfavourable for the less active content. We will ALWAYS have outdoor components even if we are set up indoors for some of the content.
What to Bring?
We also ask that each participant bring a “day pack” that would be similar to what you would carry on a day trip or work trip outdoors so that you can use items you would likely have with you. There is no wrong way to do anything when you are improvising.
- A detailed WHAT TO BRING list will be sent to course participants upon registration and closer to the course date.
