Experience in the outdoors provides rich opportunities for personal and social development
Awareness of the needs and contributions of others and the ability to sustain effective relationships, at work and in the family, are vital in today's society.
Experience in the outdoors provides rich opportunities for personal and social development through carefully structured group work in challenging situations.
Trust, care, tolerance and the willingness to give and accept support are all encouraged and anti-social behaviour is challenged.
Opportunities are presented to exhibit and develop effective inter-personal behaviour when working co-operatively and effectively in teams.
