Outdoor Education - Schools
Thornbridge Outdoors runs a range of national governing body accredited courses that enable people to lead others undertaking adventurous activities.
Leadership strand:
Central to all of our outdoor leadership courses is the introduction and consideration of different leadership strategies. All of our outdoor leadership course staff have experience of working with a range of age groups, from a range of different backgrounds in a range of testing environments, and will draw upon these experiences to illustrate different ideas and approaches.
For individuals and small groups we run a number of open courses at set dates, as detailed through the links below.
If you have a group of 4 or more that require training we may be able to organise a course specifically for you. Please call us on 01629-64049 to or fill in the enquiry form to let us know what you need.
