Reconnecting young people with education, learning, skills and knowledgeWe use adventure activities to initially engage young people then a combination of education, coaching and counselling to reshape their experience and enjoyment of learning and achieving. Participants are collected from home and returned at the end of the activity. This ensures a high level of attendance and gives us time and flexibility to deliver a rich variety of learning experiences. All equipment and specialized clothing is provided. Robust risk assessments and safety procedures are in place and are regularly inspected by the Adventure Activity Licensing Service. We have worked with hundreds of young people, providing bespoke child centered opportunities for learning that are outside the normal experience of our target group and their peers. We have been very successful at giving meaning and enjoyment to learning to young people who, for various reasons, have not given priority to education.
