It is not just commercial groups going through providers... though some people think the sasuage factory is just Outdoor EDUCATION/Environmental Studies ( VET recreation is another thing), but certain schools run their programs straight through the Outdoor Education teachers, and programs are run using their skill and knowledge. It is a program that gets students adverse with experiential learning, and undertaking things they may never get the chance to do i.e. 3 night ski tour in the high plains and during this, students learn about environmental issues and are able to gain instrinsic connections to areas they study and actually give a damn about what happens to it!

... and you never know, one of these students just might pass on their environmental message to friend etc etc

And it would be a shame for such a rich resource and student learning experience to be disbanded. As a Teacher, it would be such a shame for this subject to go amiss. Please click the link
