Learning Adventures

Experiential and Environmental Outdoor Learning

Some of life’s most important lessons occur in unexpected places. Quality non- formal learning plays a key role in youth development.

At our Learning Adventures center, and through exploratory learning experiences, participants strengthen their self-confidence and trust in their peers, build resilience, develop personal initiative and social and intercultural skills, while enhancing their creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and leadership competencies. These life skills will in turn be bolstered by improved physical abilities, wellness and health resulting from taking part in adventure sports.

In addition, activities in nature help raise awareness on the importance of sustainability of the environment.

 

Through a wide range of experiential, hands on, projects and activities, our students will learn about themselves and about the many challenges and opportunities facing our world, all the while enjoying an unforgettable life changing adventure.

Our Center is staffed by qualified teachers and instructors. They are trained and committed to providing a truly memorable experience. We make adventure possible, taking care of the details and building programmes that are challenging and fun.
