First Aid Camp
Description
Embark on a life-changing adventure this summer while learning crucial,
real-world skills! Campers who elect to participate in First Aid Camp
will enjoy an uninterrupted three-hour block each morning, devoted to
learning the basics of First Aid response, and then enjoy the traditional
summer camp experience for the afternoons and evening programs! Our Wilderness First Aid Master Camp is a hands-on, immersive experience where campers gain the knowledge and confidence to handle medical emergencies in remote, outdoor environments. Through interactive lessons and practice scenarios, campers will earn their Wilderness First Aid certification card,which will be a valuable credential for any outdoor enthusiast or future wilderness leader.
Throughout the program, campers will dive into essential topics like injury prevention, wound care, splinting, how to respond to hypothermia and heat exhaustion, as well as recognizing and managing allergic reactions, fractures, sprains, strokes and more. It also includes CPR/AED skills to assist with heart conditions and drowning situations. Certified instructors will guide participants through realistic scenarios, using role-playing and simulation exercises to teach practical techniques for dealing with injuries in areas far from immediate help.
Our comprehensive curriculum includes everything from assessing
a situation, performing basic first aid, to coordinating evacuations if
necessary, and will prepare participants to stay calm and act decisively in the face of an emergency. Whether you’re camping in remote areas, car camping in a state park or simply want to be ready for anything, this course ensures you’re well-prepared.
Campers successfully completing the course will earn a Wilderness
First Aid and CPR/AED for Adult & Child certification card from ECSI,
(Emergency Care and Safety Institute) giving them the skills and
credentials to confidently handle wilderness emergencies. This camp
isn’t just about safety; it’s about empowering young adventurers with the
knowledge to protect themselves and others while exploring the wild.
Join us for an unforgettable summer experience where adventure and
learning go hand in hand, and leave with the skills and certification to
make a difference in the outdoors!
