Adventure Camps can provide an excellent outdoor education programme for your school group. We can link activities with the national curriculum and adapt programmes to meet your pupils' educational needs. We can help promote soft skills, leadership, teamwork and social skills using the outdoors as our tool. Promoting fitness and healthy living is high on the Adventure Camps agenda.

The Benefits of Outdoor Education for your pupils:
The use of the outdoors makes a major contribution to physical and environmental education and enhances many other curriculum areas. It contributes to personal growth and social awareness and develops skills for life and the working world. Qualities such as a sense of responsibility and a purpose in life are nurtured. There is also a great deal of intrinsic enjoyment and satisfaction to be experienced from participation in outdoor activities.
Outdoor activities provide valuable alternative, often non-competitive, avenues for achievement as well as opportunities to develop independence and self-reliance. Through successfully facing up to the challenges which outdoor activities provide, overcoming fears and apprehensions along the way, young people make major strides in confidence, with positive implications for all aspects of their development.
Participation in exciting and enjoyable outdoor activities with teachers, youth workers and peers reinforces a positive attitude to education and contributes significantly to the general ethos of a school or youth group. Direct experience out of doors stimulates and reinforces learning across many areas of the curriculum and the use of the outdoors encourages young people to take greater responsibility for their own learning.
Active learning and adventure outdoors introduces young people to the environment in a way which develops understanding, appreciation, awe, wonder and respect. It fosters sensitivity to the environment, helps young people to see themselves in a global context and helps to develop citizens with an awareness of the need for sustainable use of the world’s natural resources.
Challenging outdoor experiences promote the development of communication, problem solving and decision making skills which have currency across a range of occupations. They encourage a positive "opting in" and "can do" attitude. Young people’s horizons are broadened, new challenges come to be relished rather than shunned, and perseverance and determination are reinforced. Values and attitudes developed in a context of shared endeavour help to form a sound basis for responsible citizenship.
