About this Course

Join us for a 16-hour, hands-on Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course designed for Sac State Students, hikers, campers, outdoor leaders, and anyone who loves exploring our local trails and outdoor spaces. Over the course of two days, you will learn how to assess and confidently respond to emergencies when First Responders are hours away. You will walk away with a Wilderness First Aid Certification and CPR/AED/First Aid Certification and the knowledge to save lives and make informed decisions in the backcountry. Day 1 will be a four-hour lecture and practice session from 5 pm to 9 pm held at the Peak Adventures Ropes Course on Sacramento State's Campus, just behind Yosemite Hall.
