The American Red Cross Wilderness & Remote First Aid (WRFA) program is an outdoor oriented first aid training program. This is a minimum 16-hour first aid course for backcountry situations when EMS is not readily available.

The "Wilderness & Remote First Aid" program is designed especially for High Adventure Back Country or When Help is Delayed situations. Typical students include Venturing Crews, Venture Patrols and older Scouts as well as Scouters supporting an advanced outdoor "high adventure" program. All outdoors enthusiasts are welcome.

The course includes classroom presentations and skills practice as well as outdoor activities including realistic scenarios and other problem solving opportunities. This program will be held as an overnighter at Collin County Adventure Camp in Anna, Texas – camping space is available for Friday and Saturday evenings.
