Northeast Mountain Guiding

Northeast Mountain Guiding hosts Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness Advanced First Aid and Wilderness First Responder courses in various parks across the United States.

These courses will be instructed by the Center for Wilderness Safety.

 The Center for Wilderness Safety (CWS) is a non-profit organization, dedicated to wilderness and remote medicine education and training. Specializing in Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder, CWS works with many groups and organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America and the Sierra Club to promote the development of both clinical and fundamental skills necessary in the field of wilderness medicine, to offer practical applications which will inspire both confidence and leadership, and to provide a forum for the exploration and continued development of the principles of wilderness and remote medicine.

CWS focuses primarily on wilderness & remote medical training programs such as wilderness first aid and wilderness first responder, and is an authorized provider of American Red Cross health & safety certification courses. Not forgetting their roots in the community, the Center for Wilderness Safety is a proud provider of the newly required BSA-specific (American Red Cross) Wilderness & Remote First Aid course which is required by the Boy Scouts of America for those youth and adult leaders attending both Philmont and Northern Tier high adventure bases. This new wilderness & remote first aid course will become a requirement for the rank of Star, and will be required for all participants attending all high adventure bases beginning in the year 2014.

The mission of CWS is to provide education and training related to wilderness & remote medicine, and to promote appreciation and stewardship in those areas. We seek to promote the development of both clinical and fundamental skills necessary in the field of wilderness medicine, to offer practical applications which will inspire both confidence and leadership, and to provide a forum for the exploration and continued development of the principles of wilderness and remote medicine.
