This is an excellent resource for those interested in experiential learning, adventure style. The techniques can be used in many ways - in the classroom, camps, Sunday school, after school programs, psychotherapy. It is proven the best way to learn is by doing, and that is exactly what Adventure Education addresses. It's more than just how to live in the wilderness, it's about doing life.
