Programmes for Schools

• Complement the existing school curriculum.

• Enhance and promote outdoor adventure activities.

Outdoor sports offer a myriad of recreational and cultural activities. Knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are built upon and contribute to the integral make-up of the individual.

Combining "Play" with nature allows the young to appreciate the wonders of the natural world. This in turn results in a greater understanding and appreciation of the need for the conservation of nature.

Radical sports are activities that involve a certain degree of risk. As such, Alternativtour takes responsibility for health and safety issues. The instructors are trained and qualified to administer First Aid if and when required.

Alternativtour have made detailed studies of all locations where activities take place. Cartographic maps have been drawn up highlighting high risk and isolated areas should any emergency arise.
