Training we offer

Providing people with the opportunity to connect with the natural world is at the heart of what we do. We believe that equipping teachers and leaders with the skills and confidence to take groups outside is a key way this can be achieved. Our training programmes can help you develop new skills, or hone the ones you already have to provide children, young people and adults with the best possible outdoor experience.
