Guided Discovery
In this session, we learn the benefits of experiential learning where educators purposely engage learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills and clarify values. The camp facilitators engage with young people/children through activities that are intentional with learning outcomes with a shared purpose, this fosters guided discovery.

Diverse and creative approaches to intentional programme facilitation (Programming, reflection, sequencing, etc.)
Programming can become so repetitive and “uninteresting”. We so easily fall into the pattern of programmes where groups rotate from one activity to another that we forget about all the wonderful alternative ways to compile programmes. This session will explore creative ways put old activities and processes together. Certificate option: Participants that would prefer to receive a certificate from the Outdoor and Adventure Institute in South Africa would need to indicate as such and complete a small project/ assignment after the session – to be submitted 14 days after.
