Wilderness First Aid + CPR training in Grafton , NH
Brought to you by Friends of the Grafton Library
Friends of the Grafton Library (FoGL) is bringing a 16-hour (2-day) certified Wilderness First Aid + CPR course to Grafton, taught by a professional instructor from SOLO Schools in Conway, NH.
FoGL is raising funds in hopes of offering this course FREE of charge to all participants.
What: Wilderness First Aid (WFA) + CPR certification covering:
Response & Assessment
Musculoskeletal Injuries
Environmental Emergencies & Survival
Soft Tissue Injuries
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Class Value per student: $210 (regularly $240, SOLO has offered a discounted rate to support our first community course)
Where: Grafton, NH (venue TBD)
When: September 19-20, 2026
Enrollment: Up to 24 students (age 14+)
No prior medical training required. This course is for anyone who spends time outdoors, cares about their community, or simply wants to be more capable in an emergency.
In order to bring a WFA course to the Grafton & Danbury community, FoGL is partnering with SOLO Schools (Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities). SOLO has been a world leader in Wilderness, Disaster, and Emergency Medical education for over 50 years, offering over 900 courses to more than 10,000 students in 400+ locations each year. SOLO has provided medical education and training to more than half a million people around the world.
When a serious injury happens in a remote area, definitive medical care can be an hour or more away. That gap between the moment someone is hurt and the moment they reach a hospital is where Wilderness First Aid training can save lives.
WFA teaches participants to assess and manage emergencies when help isn't coming quickly: broken bones, head injuries, hypothermia, severe allergic reactions, and more. It's built for exactly the kind of terrain that defines most of Grafton, Danbury and surrounding towns.
Our forests and trails are beautiful, and they're also places where emergencies can happen far from help. A common saying in emergency management education is, We don't rise to the occasion, we fall to our level of training.
FoGL is working to bring this 2-day certification course to Grafton, to make it easier for local residents to access valuable knowledge and skills that might be the most important thing they take on their next adventure!

If the full fundraising goal is reached (including tuition, instructor fees, and deposits), then participant deposits will be refunded upon course completion.
We have surpassed our minimum fundraising goal of $2,800 to fully fund 12 student tuitions (including a small instructor fee).
A full class of 24 students would be up to $5,300 for tuitions and fees, and we expect deposit returns to come to roughly $1800, setting our ultimate fundraising goal at $7100. We're raising funds through our Safety Dance series and direct donations. Every dollar gets us closer to making the course free to more members of the community.
Enrollment Priority
A minimum of 12 of the 24 available spots will be reserved for residents of Grafton and Danbury. Other community members are welcome to register and will be admitted as space allows.
