ABOUT
​
Element Outdoor Education provides a non-competitive alternative to organized activities. Through outdoor adventure activities participants will learn foundational skills that will enable them to enjoy and appreciate nature in a number of settings while developing a healthy lifestyle.

Through activities such as archery, orienteering, hiking, climbing, slacklining, mountain biking, kayaking and canoeing, participants will become immersed in their surrounding outdoor environment and develop confidence to play in our communities natural settings. This will encourage our youth to use local environments to explore, experience and create their own adventures.
