    Outdoor Education Australia advocates that every child has a right to access quality Outdoor Education as part of a balanced curriculum from pre-school to Year 12. Outdoor education provides opportunities to develop positive relationships with the environment, others and ourselves through interaction with the natural world.

    Outdoor education engages students in practical and active learning experiences in natural environments, situations and settings beyond the school classroom. In these conditions, students develop the skills and understandings to move safely and competently while valuing a positive relationship with natural environments and promoting the sustainable use of these environments. The students develop lifelong skills of observation, respect for nature, and understanding of their own competencies with an insight to one's own resilience.

    Outdoor education is uniquely placed to address the general capabilities and cross curriculum priorities of the Australian Curriculum; personal and social capability, critical and creative thinking, ethical understanding and moral behaviours, Aboriginal perspectives of land and country, and environmental sustainability.

    At Adventure Out we're dedicated to preserving and protecting our invaluable natural environment through experiential learning. Understanding the world around us, recognising its beauty and minimising our impact within it, are the necessary steps toward a healthy planet and sustainable society.
