If you are a new client we would plan a consultation and site visit with you. This would include various things such as planning the day, risk assessments, identifying learning outcomes and creating lesson plans etc. From this consultation we would be able to create a bespoke programme, which may include a combination of some of the following activities archery, climbing, orienteering, problem solving and woodland activities for your young people and advise on costs depending on the number of instructors required to deliver the programme that you have agreed.
There is a one time fee* for new locations and if another teacher/department wanted the Outreach Team to visit again in the future this consultation would not be required. We would still discuss learning outcomes etc with the new teacher for any new bookings. This is the same for existing customers.
If the booking is then made and confirmed, we will provide activity specific risk assessments and further communicate over times and access for the day.
*This fee is refunded if the booking is made following the consultation.
