What emergency procedures does Wilderness Awareness School have in case of an accident or illness at camp?
The staff at Wilderness Awareness School’s camps are all trained in first aid procedures and CPR, with expedition staff also having Wilderness First Responders (WFRs) in their crew. We follow an established medical policy and procedure guide that is approved by a licensed physician each year. A full first aid kit is on site to take care of scrapes and bruises and for more serious injuries. First aid packs are carried by staff when out of reach of the main camp area. If further medical assistance is required, we will take the student to the nearest clinic or hospital from the camp and reach the parent for further directions.
