Most parents worry about what their kids are doing in the school holidays and most are too busy to spend time with their children, thanks to work commitments. Students love field trips and there’s no better way to learn about nature than an adventure expedition that is organised by an experienced team of educators.
Marine Conservation
The Great Barrier Reef is the perfect place to engage in marine conservation; the students are actively involved in monitoring coral and marine species, learning about the underwater world and the many challenges the world’s oceans are going through. Many students become so interested in the environment, they choose to make a career in something like marine conservation, being part of the solution, not the problem. The great thing about a study tour in Australia is the students get to see others parts of the country.
Leadership Challenges
If your son or daughter shows leadership potential, enrolling them in a leadership adventure course will bring out the best and hone their skills in order to be a better leader. Climate positive expeditions offer student hands-on experience with leading groups, while under the supervision of experienced trainers. Every morning, there is a leader meeting, when issues can be discussed, while the student leaders hold their own discourse with their team. Becoming a better leader comes with guided experience and these courses are structured by expert educators and trainers.
Applied Curriculum Tours
These tours connect the national curriculum with the real world by presenting a challenging tour to give the students the opportunity to experience the practical side of science. One of the primary goals is a higher learning outcome to boost their grades and GPA, which are very important when it comes to choosing a university. Science, history, technology, the performing arts and language are all aspects of a typical applied curriculum tour, which are integrated into every project.
Cultural Journeys
The aim of this program is to introduce students to different cultures, with overseas expeditions in all parts of Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Perhaps you would like your teenage son to experience life in Northern Thailand or spend time with a fishing family in the South of Thailand; these types of experiences are unique and full of value. Students are actively engaged in worthwhile projects when on cultural tours; groups are typically 10-15 students, with durations ranging from7-25 nights.
While our kids are learning about climate change in the classroom and the Internet, they should have hands-on experience and these courses are designed and managed by experts. This is a productive way to spend most of the school holidays, giving them first-hand experience with global warming and other environmental issues the world is facing.
Weekend Adventures
If you are looking for some adventure for your kids, there are weekend adventure trips that offer something different; kayaking, climbing, surfing and trekking are all on offer, with expert instructors. Teenagers like nothing more than adventure and they can experience that within the safe parameters of the expedition.
