Spend your weekend learning the basics of wilderness medicine and CPR while immersed in 418 acres of working farm and forest on The Mountain School campus, offered by SOLO Schools!

Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one-and maybe even save a life.

The WFA is the perfect course for everyone, including the camp staff, outdoor educators, and trip leaders who want a basic level of first aid training for short trips with family, friends, and outdoor groups.

The SOLO WFA Course meets the American Camping Association (ACA) guidelines. SOLO WFA can count for Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Successful completion of the course confers a two-year certification in SOLO Wilderness First Aid and SOLO CPR.

Participants must be at least 14 years of age.

Program Dates: Saturday, January 16th & Sunday, January 17th, 2027

Times: 8:00am - 5:00pm, additional CPR instruction may occur after dinner on Saturday

What to pack:
Prepare for cold, snowy weather - much of the course will take place outside, regardless of conditions.

Bring what you would for a day hike or overnight backpacking trip.

SOLO will provide you with textbooks and resources, and The Mountain School will provide additional materials for use in practice scenarios.
