The importance of being Old...er.

We are not born with all of "the Skills for Life" we either learn them for ourselves or a taught them. Here at Aquila Outdoor Adventure we believe in passing on those life long learnt skills, before those skills disappear into the history books or they fall into the digital abyss.

Learning to facilitate means developing the skills to guide and support people through a learning process. Facilitators help learners take ownership of their learning by providing resources and encouraging them to work together to solve problems. They help to guide, support and encourage the people in their group.

All activities are land based,

ie. Walking, climbing, bushcraft, weaseling, orienteering, team building, survival skills, etc.

Building on your skills" means actively working to improve and develop your existing abilities, often by taking on new challenges, learning additional knowledge, or practicing techniques to become more proficient in a particular area, essentially taking your current skill level to a higher standard. 

Come and join us to practise and develop your skills in a safe and controlled environment

Building confidence in teamwork is essential for developing leadership skills, especially in outdoor education settings. By focusing on collaboration rather than individual achievements, participants learn the value of supporting one another. Engaging in outdoor activities fosters a sense of community, where every team member contributes to shared goals. Together, we cultivate an environment that encourages growth, resilience, and effective communication
