12. Adventure Activities

12.1 Introduction

Adventure Activities should form part of the natural progression of outdoor learning opportunities offered to young people. They can contribute greatly to the personal and social development of an individual as well as increasing their understanding of risk management.

Adventure Activities can be part of any category of visit and reference should be made to the relevant procedures within each specific type of visit.

If planning a visit which will include an Adventure Activity, the Visit Leader is advised to seek advice from their Local Authority or Employer.
