An important element of all trips is the development of skills of teamwork, co-operation, mutual respect, mutual support and leadership. Many of the outdoor activities implicitly contain elements which help in the development of these skills. However, the centre also has a ‘team-building park’ where students undertake a whole range of mental-physical challenges which test them and their ability to successfully carry out a variety of tasks. Instructors are on hand to introduce, guide, occasionally cajole and to review. Such activities can occupy a half or a full day.
