Mazamas

Somewhere between the trailhead and the summit, things can go sideways fast.

A rolled ankle miles from the car. Heat exhaustion on an exposed climb. A bad blister turning into a bigger problem. Hypothermia after weather moves in quicker than expected. A rockfall injury. A partner who suddenly stops feeling “just tired.”

You can’t prevent every emergency in the outdoors. But you can be better prepared to respond when things go wrong.

Mazama First Aid courses are designed to help you stay calmer, think clearer and take action when it matters most — whether you’re helping yourself, a climbing partner or a stranger on the trail.

From Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder to CPR and Stop the Bleed, our courses build practical skills and confidence for real-world outdoor situations.

Your summit skills matter. So do your emergency skills.

Not all trail days look the same around here.

Some Mazamas are knocking out thru-hikes. Some are moving mindfully through the forest. Some are tackling the legendary Triple D. Others are wandering wildflower trails with dogs, learning geology on the move, tracking research projects or simply chasing a good sunrise before work.

Ramblers. Peak baggers. Bird nerds. Distance junkies. Casual wanderers. We’ve got all kinds.
