The Training Centre can provide a range of adventurous outdoor activities including Rock Climbing and Abseiling, Canoeing and Kayaking, Stand up paddle boarding, Hiking, Bushcraft and Mountain Biking.
Whilst these activities can be great fun in their own right we specialise in designing bespoke programs that link outdoor activities to learning objectives. Where rather than being a change from school our trips become an extension of it.
We have created programs that explored the effects of climate change whilst learning bushcraft skills, that have explored geology whilst rock climbing and coasteering, that have explored the sustainable development goals whilst watching whales.
This example is of a program that was designed to gain an understanding of some of the effects of climate change whilst mitigating the effects of wildfires in Portugal.
Students learnt about how physical, social, and environmental factors combine to cause wildfires in Portugal and took part in a project to help mitigate these risks by removing invasive and planting native trees.
In between times, they took part in a range of adventurous outdoor activities and had a lot of fun.
