“Being outdoors and active is a vital part of growing up and living a healthy and fulfilled life. Outdoor learning benefits children, young people and adults alike. It engages our hearts through what we feel and the emotions we experience; our heads through what we think, see and say; and our hands through our physical experiences including how we move through the space the outdoors provides.”

We have a number of very successful programmes with DAS groups.
Outdoor Learning is already embedded in Curriculum for Excellence; across all subjects, at all levels, within the Learning for Sustainability entitlement, the improvement planning and inspection process and GTCS standards. Learning outdoors can impact on health and wellbeing, literacy, numeracy, and most significantly for those under attaining through traditional classroom learning activities.
outdoor learning is an approach which often works well to help re-engage children and young people with education or developing skills for work.
The team at Outdoor Education Fife has experience planning and delivering programmes in this field and can work alongside staff to develop suitable programmes for your young people.
Cost corresponds to Primary Programmes, but max total group size may vary depending on activity and group.
