Exploring the outdoors in Nepal has never been easier or more exciting than in Initiative Outdoors's safe hands! I.O. is happy to announce to our members and friends that we have just completed one of our new course: customized course. This program allows you and your child to create a unique adventure and is perfect for long weekends or school holidays.

Preferably, all customized courses will be 2 days (minimum) to 7 days (maximum) in length and can be created for either individuals or small groups. With a low student to instructor ratio we can ensure superior quality of instruction. I.O. will also happily work with you to custom design a course to meet your goals/needs. 

On 5^th – 6^th March 2012, I.O. organized two days customized kids’ course for the students of French school. The activities that were included in the course were team and trust building exercises, fun games, health and sanitation workshop, abseiling, Bouldering and knot classes. The course was designed especially for 5 - 16 year olds kids and there were fourteen participants altogether for two days.

There may be varying with course length, desired activities, number of participants, and location depending upon the cost of the course. Generally, our course lengths can be shortened or extended to suit your availability, and additional components or themes can be integrated into a course to accommodate to your requirements. 

We continuously organize such programs for kids. If you are outside of this age range, don't worry, we can tailor the concept to meet the needs of people from all walks of life. Let us know what interests you and we'll do the rest!

Advanced Wilderness First Aid

 ADVANCE WILDERNESS FIRST AID
DATE : 14TH - 18TH FEB, 2012 

The Advance Wilderness First aid course (AWFA) is designed for trip leaders and those traveling or working in remote areas that need a more extensive training program than the Wilderness First Aid course. This 5-day course focuses on stabilization, treatment and evacuation guidelines for patients in back country environments.

From 14 to 18 February 2012 initiative outdoor ran internationally recognized wilderness first aid courses. These courses are essential for anyone working in the outdoors industry, and are often per-requisites for anyone wishing to work abroad. The course was delivered from SOLO wilderness medical organization. SOLO's courses have become industry standards in the US, and have been recognized by a number of universities there also. The course includes CPR certification  awarded by the American Heart Association.

All courses were taught by a scenario-based, hands-on learning approach as opposed to being classroom based. Course took place at Nepal Scout Camp, Kakani with residential (4 meals + camping accommodation). There is no much difference in the topic that will be taught in advanced course from basic course. The course is based on long term patient care management and specific injury evaluation.





Advanced Wilderness First Aid course also covers a topic of first aid subjects, emphasizes leadership skills, and presents new skills such as building improvised litters and litter carrying.
