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.[1] SOLO was one of the originators of today's Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician (WEMT) programs, also taught by other schools across the United States and the world, including NOLS' Wilderness Medicine Institute in Wyoming and Wilderness Medical Associates in Maine and Canada.

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. As of 2015 SOLO has taught and certified over 300,000 students. SOLO also trains advanced providers in disaster recovery medicine and extended remote care in its GEOMEDIC course.
