“I recently completed a two-day WFA and CPR course with Creeks to Peaks. Pete, our instructor, did a masterful job of presenting the material in an engaging, fun style. He connected with each student, and the group members enjoyed making new friends. Pete’s emergency scenarios required us to apply our new knowledge to effectively assess and treat our patients. I’m so glad I took the course; I’m more confident in my ability to handle situations in the backcountry.”
“Pete did a fantastic job providing us with a high level of training for Wilderness First Aid. He makes the content very engaging and makes it fun for the entire course. If you are wanting to make sure you can learn to take care of yourself or your loved ones, take a WFA course with Pete. He will make sure you have a strong foundation of medical training for the wilderness settings.”
