The buzzword in schools these days is “outdoor education”. This means all kinds of school trips, camps in centres, trips abroad, there really are so many offerings, but what is YOUR REASON for sending your school?
What are the goals of the camp?
We at African Insight Academy want the students to say after the camp: “The experience has changed me!”
- We want them to feel exhausted but proud of themselves at the end of the day.
- We want them to do something they have never done before.
- We want to show them that with a simple change in mindset, you can see the things that are important and all the many things that are not.
- We want every single child to engage in the experience of seeing the distinction between work and play disappear and for our students to see themselves and their peers in a different light.
And that by participating in our diverse natural ecosystem, we provide students with all-senses experiences that facilitate unlimited learning in ways that surpass our aims of our programs and where students become the catalyst for learning.
So we want to sit with you and your school to find your aims and reasons for why you are sending your groups on an outdoor adventure.
