Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) is a school based in Conway, New Hampshire dedicated to wilderness medicine and outdoor leadership training. Founded by Dr. Frank Hubbell in 1976, it was one of the first schools to offer education on wilderness emergency medicine. SOLO was one of the originators of today's WFR and WEMT programs, now taught by other schools across the United States and the world, including NOLS' Wilderness Medicine Institute in Colorado and Wilderness Medical Associates in Maine.

SOLO is accredited by the University of New Hampshire's Lifelong Learning program. In 2004 they provided first aid training to the cast and crew of PBS' "Colonial House" program, and a number of colleges and universities across the United States recognize their courses for credit. SOLO has also recently opened a facility in Cullowhee, North Carolina called "SOLO Southeast", which will offer courses across the southern tier of the U.S.
