Course Design
|
 |
We attach great importance to partnership in the development of all our course programmes. Tell us how you want to make use of the locations and opportunities available so that together we can construct a programme which meets your objectives. We can vary the emphasis of a course in both style and content and thereby create a particular experience for different groups of visitors. |
| For example, for schools, you could place an emphasis on personal and social education, environmental awareness, curriculum support material or on physical challenge and adventure. The choice is yours...
Perhaps, a blend of all these elements or more! |
For other groups who wish to use our instruction the programme can, likewise, be focused on your own particular targets. |
| The instructional staff at Carlton share a keen interest in the development of young people and have a firm belief in the benefits that outdoor education and the residential experience can bring. Able to relate to a wide range of age groups and with a broad experience of experiential learning they are able to engage groups in activities that are delivered in a knowledgeable, challenging, rewarding and enjoyable style. |
 |
 |
The Centre can also be booked by groups that wish to be self managed. Please enquire for details and availability! |
| Safety, of course, is paramount throughout everything we do. |
