Major Program Update!!

We have heard unfortunate news in the past few days that AdventureMed, our partner in providing our Wilderness Life Support for the Medical Provider course, is ceasing operations in February 2026. We are grateful for their partnership over the years and wish everyone with that organization the best in their future endeavors.

Dr Chamberlain and Dr Henderson see this as an opportunity for personal growth, however. We are excited for the opportunity to write our own curriculum and hope to provide an even more evidence-based and comprehensive education to our future students. As we had no warning of this business change however, we are going to cancel our upcoming open WLS class planned for May. We will be working hard though and will put this class on as invitation only to pilot our new curriculum. We just won't have enough time to write, pilot and obtain CME by May unfortunately.

We honestly see this as a blessing for our growth. We hope that you follow along with our progress and hopefully will see you in future classes as we splash forward, as the Henderson boys demonstrate!

Drs. Chamberlain and Henderson are happy to announce the dates for our annual wilderness medicine campout weekend!

When: May 8-10, 2026 (the class starts the morning of the 9th but you are welcome to come set up camp on the 8th and hang out around the campfire)

What: Wilderness Life Support for the Medical Provider, these CME credits (if you have your permanent license) can be applied to the Wilderness Medicine fellowship (WMS) and are registered through AMA.

Who: All medical providers, if you have a friend or family member that is in medicine they are welcome to come as well (we have had nurses, EMTs, mid-levels and everyone has had an amazing time).

Update! Unfortunately, due to the cessation of operations of AdventureMed we will be suspending this class and will work on developing our own course. Please check back for more information.

Two people were found dead over the weekend at a remote backcountry campground in Isle Royale National Park, authorities announced. Around 4 p.m. Sunday, park rangers received two separate reports of two campers found dead at the park.

Two rangers hiked 11 miles overnight to the campground to assess the situation. They arrived early Monday morning and confirmed two unidentified people were deceased.

The incident is under investigation. The causes of death are unknown at this time.

Left Grand Rapids Michigan at 6am today to dive out to the Seventy48. We were about 45min out of town when we saw a car on the side of the road with an engine fire. I used my fire extinguisher to try and put it out, but it was too little too late. The fire department had to come and put it out. The occupants were all okay. I stoped by Walmart and replaced my fire extinguisher with a bigger one.

There is not much better than autumn in Michigan. Picture it: fresh pressed apple cider, warm pumpkin donuts, catching some fish on a crisp day on a crystal clear lake or wrangle a trout on the end of a fly line. Plowing your mountain bike through a blanket of leaves sending them scattering…. Oh and learning wilderness life support from an awesome team of passionate and experienced educators!
