Purpose of Outdoor Education

CHRISTIANThe basis of Christian Adventure Learning is for young people TO DISCOVER WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST and to recognise their in-built yearning TO KNOW CHRIST MORE.

OUTDOORGod created the outdoors and it speaks to us of Him. By being exposed to it, young people can find Him as well as their role and responsibility towards it. |
