It is possible for us to arrange specialist outdoor activity weeks where the emphasis is on learning new skills. Most of our courses however use the experience gained through the use of outdoor activities to stimulate an awareness of the participants' inner resources.
The level of activity undertaken will vary considerably from group to group. Projects
and outdoor activities are included in any programme to provide an ideal arena
in which groups may appreciate the importance of social skills such as cooperation
and effective team work, whilst developing personal confidence.
It's
all too easy to see a visit to a residential centre as an isolated experience.
However at Bendrigg we feel it is necessary to put this experience into the
wider context of continuing education. In this way a course can be
made an integral part of a longer programme of learning as part of
a specific course or as 'training for life'.
In
order to provide a follow-up, evaluation and debriefing sessions can be included
as an integral part of each course. Below is a sample of a five day course.
