Full or Half Day Programs
Outdoor Discoveries runs university and school programs specialising in outdoor education in Western Australia. While we run one and two day programs which are mostly recreational, we aim to teach solid technical skills as part of all programs.
Our expertise is in providing small to medium size groups with high quality outdoor skills. We run many outdoor education programs for large groups, however, we specialise in teaching advanced skills to smaller groups of students. These skills include advanced technical skills, leadership, teamwork, camp craft and expedition skills.
Abseiling, rock climbing and caving are our most popular university and school programs. These programs suit students who are Year Eight or older. For further information on these programs check the following links:
We meet or exceed the Education Department of Western Australia Guidelines for Abseiling and Rockclimbing.
Price varies considerably with group size so please call for a specific quote.
For younger students we prefer to run different activities. Some examples are
- flat water canoeing
- walk-in adventure caving and
- guided interpretive bushwalks.
We meet or exceed recommended instructor:student ratios on all our outdoor programs.
Please note we do not recommend any ocean swimming activities in the Margaret River region. There are large swells and strong rips on most beaches.
