Of course, a school that takes outdoor education seriously will see positive results.
My concern is with those schools/colleges that schedule this kind of outdoor activity more as an 'end of term' diversion rather than as a serious curriculum subject.
I'm talking about kids who arrive at Arapiles with no previous experience of camping in the outdoors, kids who need to be instructed in the basics such as putting up their tent.
These kids are not there to participate in serious outdoor education. For them (or some of them at least) it's a week away from normal classroom restrictions.
