Curriculum Based School Camps
FREE ‘Al-Pine Tree Climb’ with every school camp booking!! *
Exodus provide a range of outdoor adventure education programs, camps and expeditions for students of all year levels.
Curriculum based school camps are designed to maximise the educational experiences of students contributing significantly to their cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual development through outdoor adventure education. Students will also engage in and learn about the importance of environmental management, particularly, how we can manage our behaviour and ecosystems in order to live sustainability. When environmental and sustainability education is incorporated into curriculum based school camps, students:
- learn about the environment
- develop skills to investigate and solve issues in the environment
- acquire attitudes of care and concern for the environment
- adopt behaviours and practices which protect the environment, and
- understand the principles of ecologically sustainable development. “© State of New South Wales through the Department”
Outdoor adventure education programs take the students out of the classroom environment and offer education based on the principles of experiential learning. Exodus curriculum based school camps offer PDHPE Outdoor Recreation options and also offer key learning areas (KLA’s) giving students opportunities to develop knowledge, processes, skills and attitudes necessary for making informed decisions about
- promoting the health of individuals and communities
- developing concepts and skills for physical activity
