Wilderness First Responder (WFR) is the definitive course in medical training for outdoor educators, guides, and others who work or play in remote areas. The curriculum is comprehensive and practical, including essential principles and skills required to assess and manage medical problems in isolated and extreme environments.

Brock’s Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies hosts external providers to lead this course on the Brock University Campus during the Winter Reading Week every other year. This is a great way to utilize your Reading Week. The course is open to Brock Students and Community Members.

Hybrid Course February 17-21, 2025

This is an intensive version of the standard course and requires ~30 hours of self-directed pre-course online work, prior to 45 hours of in-person learning over the course of five days.

We recommend that students register for the course four weeks prior to the course start date to allow time to adequately complete the 30+ hours of pre-course work.

For more information, reach out to Michelle Leone, Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies Academic Advisor at recladvisor@brocku.ca.

Brock students may also earn the 0.5 credit RECL 3Q46 upon successful completion of the course.  Course tuition fees would apply (as a challenge for credit).
Online Registration  through Brock Recreation.
