Metro Journeys LP 2

PARKS, BUSHLAND AND RIVERS – ALL AT YOUR DOORSTEP

To best prepare young people for success in an ever-evolving future, skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity are essential. Outdoor education influences young people's preparedness for this future by building and harnessing vital skills to ensure they are real world ready. Our metro journeys allow students to discover more than they know about themselves. Journeys created for metro areas grow core skills through outdoor education while discovering locations close to home.

Working together in a group, dealing directly with concepts such as leadership, followership and inclusivity, our metro journeys allow students to develop crucial core skills. Expand your student's world-view and help them understand they are capable of more than they know by introducing one of our metro journeys today.
