LEADING OUR INDUSTRY SINCE THE LAST ICE AGE

SOLO is the oldest, most innovative, and one of the most respected wilderness medical schools in the United States.

WE’RE FOCUSED ON WILDERNESS

Which is anywhere outside “The Golden Hour,” whether miles from home or just down the street (e.g., after a tornado).

WE’RE VERY HANDS-ON

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in. The training is real, gritty, and can be messy; we prepare you for real life.

WE KEEP THINGS REAL

We train by immersion, and all our scenarios have the sights and sounds of a real emergency. This helps prepare students for real-world situations.

AND IT’S NOT ALL HARD SKILLS

We’ll teach you to fix broken things, but you’ll also learn the joy of simply giving comfort. Compassion is an important first aid tool.

YOU’LL HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Some of the great benefits of SOLO training are the good times and lasting friendships. The learning can be as fun as it is intense.

THIS IS OUR MAIN BUILDING

Most of the classroom work takes place here, and there is room for skills practice, too. 

THE DINING ROOM

For some reason this is the favorite place on campus for many of our students.  

THE SECOND FLOOR CLASSROOM

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in. The training is real, gritty, and can be messy.

THE DORM ROOMS ARE SIMPLE

The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable.

THESE STAIRS LEAD TO THE OFFICE

Here you will find our friendly staff who will cheefully answer all your questions.

THE SOLO KITCHEN

This is where the magic happens! We have a full-time chef, the food is great, and endless!

Our main building is functional and funky, with plenty of space for learning (and a totem pole).

Big and open and well-lighted, and sporting all sorts of hi-tech teaching aids.
