University Recreation is hosting a Wilderness First Responder course this August on the Newberg campus.

The course is ideal for anyone who spends a significant amount of time recreating in outdoor settings. The curriculum also provides essential training in wilderness medicine, leadership, and critical thinking for professionals and leaders working and traveling in outdoor, low-resource, and remote environments.

We have four spots remaining in this course, and they may go quickly!
