Wilderness First Aid Camp for Teens

This week-long camp is designed for teens aged 14-16 who are eager to learn essential skills for managing wilderness emergencies. It's also an excellent opportunity for those interested in an advanced first aid course or looking to strengthen their disaster preparedness for urban emergencies. Plus, it adds extra value to college applications and resumes! Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an ASHI (American Safety and Health Institute) Wilderness First Aid certification card, provided they attend all training sessions and pass the skills*. The course will be held at our main office at CPR Seattle.

*A key part of the Wilderness First Aid certification is the physical assessment of a patient, where students evaluate injuries or medical issues by gently checking the patient from head to toe. If a student suspects a specific injury, such as a fractured arm, they’ll focus on that area to assess for fractures, range of motion, and circulation. Students will practice these assessments on a fellow participant, with instructors providing guidance and feedback. If your child is uncomfortable with this, they can perform the assessment on a parent or friend at an alternate time. Note: Completing this hands-on assessment is required to earn the certification card.
