Date: July 13 - July 16, 2025
Location: Appalachian Mountain Club The Stephen & Betsy Corman Harriman Outdoor Center
Wilderness First Aid (WFA) training intends to prepare you for a medical situation that may arise when you are in the backcountry, there is no ambulance, you are short on supplies, the wait for help is unknown, and moving the patient a short distance might take hours. WFA also teaches you how to avoid these situations through increased awareness of how to prepare ahead of time for backcountry trips where medical resources will not be readily available. The WFA course is a two-day, 16-hour course (8 hours/day) and covers a full range of situations, from scrapes and blisters to life-threatening emergencies.
Topics include: Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies, Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries, and Medical Emergencies. Participants will learn accident scene management and how to communicate effectively with an emergency rescue party. Our Wilderness First Aid training will also include a separate CPR course. By the completion of this training, all participants will receive a 2-year WFA Certification. This course is taught by an instructor from Desert Mountain Medicine and is highly experienced in the outdoors, certified in WFA, Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness Medicine, Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC), and CPR.
The CCNY Outdoors Project will arrange for roundtrip transportation from campus to Harriman, departure time TBD. The bus ride is expected to take approximately 1 hour. During your stay at Harriman, all meals and lodging are included.
Please Note: Participants will have shared bunk rooms (4 people per room) and a shared washroom located 2 minutes from the bunkhouse.
Everyone will have some free time to explore the area and hike. The camp has gear available for rental, such as hiking boots, rain jackets and more. Our team will provide you with an itinerary and packing list once your registration is complete.
