Key Areas they develop:

Self reliance, care
Extended time in nature
Exploration journeys are critical to establish connection and caring for nature
Under constant supervision
Responsibility within group
Decision making and minor leadership roles within boundaries

> Secondary Years programs provide a variety of adventurous programs. Students develop higher level of skills, take on leadership roles, experience risk taking, manage situations and experience the importance of decision making. Students begin to develop skills and knowledge to undertake more extended journeys in natural environments and interdependence within the group.

Team challenges demonstrate effective teamwork while being fun and stimulating.
Our programs also aim to develop personal responsibility, Independent Learning, social skills, creative problem solving and ethical understanding.
