We’re hosting a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course with Desert Mountain Medicine in Leadville, CO. Whether you like ski-touring in the backcountry, backpacking in the wilderness, rafting/kayaking, or biking in remote areas, this course is for you! We’re looking forward to a class full of inspired women ready to take their backcountry education to the next level.
This Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is designed for the outdoor enthusiast, trip leader, raft guide, or land agency field staff who want more than what an urban first aid course provides. The WFA is a great introduction to wilderness medicine and basic life support skills. This training focuses on prevention, assessment, and treatment of environmental illnesses, recognizing and stabilizing life threats caused by trauma, and calling for a rescue in the event of a wilderness emergency.
If there is enough interest, we can look into getting an airbnb for anyone wanting to stay the night in Leadville together!
