Where your trainees will learn and practise
Our partner host organisations are outdoor adventure companies — activity centres where trainees take on the role of sport monitors in practice alongside groups of children and young people.
Trainees always carry out activities under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor. They will assist, learn from and collaborate with experienced monitors while gaining practical skills in activities such as:
- Hiking and mountain trails
• Mountain biking routes
• Rock climbing and abseiling
• Archery
• Zip lines and high ropes courses
• Kayaking and canoeing
• Paddle surfing and swimming
• Horse riding excursions
• Team games, group dynamics and outdoor challenges
This is structured, mentored learning. From their first week, trainees support activities with children, developing leadership, communication and coaching skills — always with a professional by their side to guide and supervise them.
