Testimonials
The experience of  'Taking Learning Outdoors' was one that I will never forget.

The course held in the hills above Schilpario invloved lots of games and activities, some mental, some physical, which helped develop my sense if cooperation and teamwork. They also challenged me personally to move out if my comfort zone and to take part in activities that I have never done before. Initially daunted by the bunkhouse style accomodation it quickly became part of the fun.

One of the best things about this type of course is meeting people from different parts if Europe. Gabriella and Giovanni's hospitality was second to none and all meals were delicious and home made by Gabriella.

Irene and Ally skillfully pack in a huge range of activities, all of which are thoroughly entertaining and fun.

I have come away from the course with a renewed confidence in myself, a greater sense of purpose and a new bunch of friends!

Many thanks

What We Offer

Journeys

Three or five day walking journeys, with group size between 6 and 12 people.

The three day journeys begin on Friday evening with dinner and end on Monday evening with dinner; the five day journeys begin on Saturday evening with dinner, and end on Thursday evening with dinner. (Participants can stay until the following morning for a small additional charge.)

Journey themes

Themes and topics explored will include;

  • communication
  • self-awareness
  • personal and interpersonal relationships
  • personal reflection
  • group dynamics
  • self-esteem motivation

By exploring and reflecting on the above, the journeys enable participants to find a balance to deal with the competing demands and stresses of the hectic modern world. Our aim is that each day will encompass a physical, mental and emotional journey, leaving you feeling revitalised and reenergised!

A Typical Day

After breakfast, participants are fully briefed on the day’s walking route before setting off. Then, as the journey progresses, there is time to undertake activities and to enjoy the views, wildlife, flora, fauna and geography of the area. We take a picnic lunch for a leisurely outdoor stop. We are back at our accommodation with time to relax and reflect before dinner; after dinner, activities vary – perhaps the group will want free time to relax, to develop some of the day’s activities, or to go out and about to enjoy some of the local opportunities on offer.

Fitness

A general level of fitness is required – we cover approx 10 miles/day on recognised track and paths. Please send an enquiry if you have any questions or concerns.
