A lot of schools are taking Outdoor Learning as a mid term project at the moment and we’ve received many requests to go along (on one occasion as far afield as London) to give talks about the work of the team, how we operate, the lives we save, the kit we use.
As volunteers it’s an additional pull on our time but with community education, support and mountain safety education high on our agenda, it’s something we’re always happy to do.
We’ve had much feedback from teachers about how enjoyable the children find our visits and hopefully they’ll take the learning with them as they go out and enjoy the great outdoors.
