its position as one of the world's foremost

all aspects of outdoor education. Our teaching
is carefully articulated with practice through
our extensive skills and qualifications in
outdoor activities, and informed by our pre-eminent

aims
The central focus of our work is to encourage
positive relationships between individuals
and with the environment through learning
outdoors. We aim to develop self-awareness
and the critical-thinking skills fundamental
to academic study and professional practice.
We
are committed to a broad vision for outdoor
education. We value outdoor education which
provides physical activity and personal
and social development opportunities, and
we believe that the outdoors is the ideal
setting for environmental education to encourage
environmental literacy and sustainability.
