Outdoor Learning Workshops

During these dynamic workshops we look at problem solving and team challenges to complete various tasks using outdoor skills, traditional bushcraft techniques and the application of lateral thinking and background wisdom (common sense).

We look at how something works but also focus at why certain actions and motions conclude in the results we see. We then build on this to resolve problems or improve systems to enhance the desired outcome.

Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure activity that exercises both the mind and body. It is also a cross curricular activity that can support Maths, PE and Geography.

The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.

Orienteering is often run in open areas of countryside but can be simplified within progressive workshops to take place within your own school grounds.

Broadly speaking, an orienteering workshop can literally be as a small or as a larger as you wish to make it. Give us a call to see how we can design a workshop that works for you and your needs.
