Outdoor Education Programs

When designing an outdoor education program for your school, we do not just throw together an array of convenient activities, or offer a “one size fits all” camp. Rather we start with a thorough understanding of your learning objectives and requirements. Then working in close consultation with you, we carefully tailor the experience so that there is a progression in the level of challenge which is matched with increasing depth in skill acquisition, understanding of concepts and relationship building.

We design camps for a wide range of age groups. These are the common learning objectives we work with based on the age group of the students:
