Wilderness First Responder

Friday, November 6, 2020 – Sunday, November 15, 2020

Due to the Beachie Creek Fire, this course has been relocated to Camp Namanu in Sandy, OR.

This 10-day scenario-based course is recommended for anyone who works or travels in areas where medical care is delayed or communication is unreliable. This course builds competency with the Patient Assessment System while exposing students to the assessment and management principles for a broad range of injuries, illness and environmental medical problems. The intensive 80-hour curriculum, combining classroom instruction and realistic outdoor scenarios, is a nationally-recognized standard for all outdoor professionals.

Tuition is $995*

All meals are provided by Opal Creek’s highly-praised kitchen staff. Lodging and meals are available beginning the evening before the course.
