Other information
We can offer a diverse range of activities according to the needs of the young people. Workers and young people can and are involved in the design of the programme in order to provide client needs are met. Initial meetings are encouraged so that instructors can meet the young people and workers involved to discuss the activities that can be offered and discuss any limitations.
Programmes provided in the past have included:
- one day team building/problem solving
- a series of teambuilding days with porgession of difficulty
- 2, 3 or 4 day camping experiences
- expedition training and expeditions.
However, this list is not exhaustive as the unit is very flexible and, as mentioned before, willing to tailor programmes to needs.
