Wilderness and Remote First Aid Certification

This is a fun and fast paced class with lots of scenarios and hands on learning. The class is 16 hours over 2 days (8:30 AM - 5:30 PM each day). The WRFA is especially important to know while traveling for extended periods in the back country--either via foot, bicycle, motorcycle or vehicle. Kristina herself is a highly seasoned wheeler and tailors her instructions to real world scenarios for wheelers, mountaineers and backpackers.

She works in partnership with the American Red Cross--is an authorized Instructor and Instructor Trainer and teaches CPR and Wilderness and Remote First Aid Training courses that will certify participants for 2 years with the American Red Cross.
