It is proven that outdoor learning is beneficial to a child’s physical, emotional, social and creative development. We operate a child-led learning experience where children become more independent, resilient and observant, where they learn to assess and manage their own risk within the environment such as tree climbing amongst other things. We utilise outdoor learning to encourage respect for the environment and for each other whilst developing strength, co-ordination, stamina and instilling a sense of well-being.
