Outdoor Education
Outdoor Education creates unique opportunities to inspire and develop individuals and teams through experiencing adventure in challenging environments. It is a process that attracts, enthuses and enriches learning. This can be as part of a wider educational programme.
The structure of our activity sessions include evaluations and target setting and is based upon 4 key messages:
-
Responsibility
-
Respect
-
Teamwork

Challenge
The benefits of outdoor education are well proven and its place within the curriculum for excellence will become widely recognised.
