Physical Recreation – Land Based Outdoor Education

Course Information

Do you love exploring the outdoors and taking on new challenges?

You will take part in hands-on activities such as orienteering, bushwalking/hiking, camp craft, and expedition planning, giving you the confidence to tackle real-world outdoor environments.

Throughout the course, you will learn how to assess risks, build resilience, and work as a team in challenging situations.
