James Archbold's Company Details
We are passionate about providing young people the opportunity to learn from adventures in the outdoors…We passionately believe that adventure, experiential learning and education in the outdoors provides a fantastic medium for learning. We believe they are a vital component in the growth and development of young people (and they're pretty important for those not so young too!). This means we won't just go on an activity because it's fun and ‘that's what we've always done in the past'. We'll teach great hard skills, we'll have plenty of fun, but it's the extended learning that we're interested in. With this in mind we strongly advocate outdoor education as an essential and productive component of every school curriculum.Recognizing that all students (young and old!) learn in different ways we will tailor a program to best achieve the outcomes you are after, always ensuring it is safe and memorable. The programs we provide are safe and meaningful- if they're not, we won't run them. We work very hard to mitigate the risks while allowing the opportunity for students to appropriately engage with challenges of an outdoor environment. One of the best ways we can do this is choosing great staff and supporting them to make solid, safe decisions every single day. All our staff carry multiple qualifications, many are senior assessors in their field and obviously they all carry minimum requirements such as police checks, child safe training and first aid qualifications. Realistically, this does not set them apart. What sets our staff apart is their hard won experience, enthusiasm for the job and willingness to impart those ‘hard to measure' skills; problem solving, personal leadership, community impact and many more.We offer abseiling, climbing, mountain biking, camping, navigation, extended overnight programs and a whole heap more… but that's enough blowing our trumpet. If you're interested, get in touch and we'll talk through some options with you.
