Building a growth mindset

Many billions of brain cells resemble the branches of a tree which are strengthened and pruned, depending on how each one is used. Processes of brain growth are stimulated by exciting, real-life adventures which take place in outdoor spaces. They are also activated just by nature itself which helps us relax and regenerate our energy.

Our residential programme is designed to help you grow the branches of your ‘brain tree’ to create a positive, growth mindset. This will be achieved through combining active outdoor learning and reflection to help you understand what, how and why you have learned. This is ‘learning by doing’ and designed to help you to thrive, think more clearly, and create memories to help you learn new things in your everyday lives.  

We use an interactive learning booklet to accompany the adventure activities and help you to record your progress within and beyond the programme. The design and quality of our residential programme has been verified from peer-reviewed published research of our earlier pilot programmes. These programmes successfully enabled young people to become more self-confident, resilient and able to communicate and empathise with others.
