This is our transportable foundational workshop for individuals who are new to adventure programming and do not need the skills or introduction to low and high elements; it is our Adventure Programming workshop without the challenge course. This is an introductory option to build your knowledge of games, activities, and initiatives for those just starting to explore adventure and for those looking to expand their activity tool-box.
Participants will:
Experience how adventure programming can be done using portable games, initiatives, and specialty equipment instead of the challenge course.
Learn how Project Adventure’s cornerstones of Challenge By Choice, Full Value Contract, and Experiential Learning cycle are key foundations of an effective adventure program.
Experience the power of adventure education as an effective tool for teaching social and emotional learning skills and promoting change in individuals and groups throughout various educational settings.
Be introduced to basic facilitation skills such as sequencing, framing, and debriefing techniques for a variety of activity types.
