Outdoor education

Image
From 7 upwards, children benefit from participation in a unique range of outdoor activities for which the Northbourne Park setting is ideal. From building camps to climbing trees, our activities foster leadership, initiative and teamwork. Activities take place every second Saturday morning.

Image
The children love this part of the curriculum particularly when they come to do overnight camp-outs during the summer. Our activities also take the older children further afield. Recent activities range from an overnight walk to Dover, a day trek to Sandwich Bay, climbing Mount Snowdon, and canoeing down the Ardeche river in France.

Image
The spirit of adventure and excitement is at all times matched by the need to keep your children safe and secure. Children are taught the importance of safety at all times.

The leadership training programme at Northbourne Park helps children:

  • develop effective leadership skills
  • clarify their vision and get their team enthusiastically moving in one direction
  • optimise their thinking, strengthen their communication skills, and enhance teamwork
  • confront and talk about tough issues and resolve conflict with greater ease
