Personal Growth Through Adventure

The growth of Outward Bound and other key providers in this field, the proliferation of Local Authority and other privately-managed outdoor centers, and the inclusion of outdoor and adventurous activities in the National Curriculum all point to the positive influence for personal growth, self-knowledge and social effectiveness which adventure experiences can provide the hands of skilled sensitive tutors. This book explores the purpose and history of adventure education; examines adventure education's psychological and sociological bases; and looks at the principals of effective program design in adventure education. The authors illustrate the increasingly relevance of experimental learning opportunities at the start of the twenty-first century using current case study of good practice with different groups.Hopkins, David is the author of 'Personal Growth Through Adventure', published 1993 under ISBN 9781853461583 and ISBN 185346158X.
