Inspiring Outdoor Education
Outdoor learning is a way of life for us and we want others to understand the benefits of using the environment and it's inspiration for developing young minds. Outdoor education helps boost creativity, develop resilience and understand the world we are in. We are passionate about passing on our knowledge and helping schools keep their curriculum going outside the classroom. We have developed our activities with schools learning outcomes in mind and use learning and development models to help students get the most out of their outdoor sessions. All our staff have varied backgrounds in the outdoors and education and want to use this to benefit others. We want to work alongside you and your school to meet your learning outcomes and curriculum requirements.
