Our outdoor learning activities are for young people, including disabled young people, young refugees and asylum seekers and young people with mental-ill health, from all over Gloucestershire. Each activity and location has a different theme or focus and we welcome ideas for new places and activities from groups and communities of young people who would like their own specific event.
Our activities are run co-operatively, supported by one or two of our Creative Sustainability Activity Leads and everyone joins in map reading, tree planting, cooking, collecting firewood and entertaining each other.
