JOURNEYS
ENGAGING OUTDOOR EDUCATION JOURNEYS
Dynamic journeys challenge your students and provide vital skills to help them thrive.
SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL OUTCOMES
At BOE, journeys are at the heart of what we do. They’re where challenge meets growth, and where students discover what they’re truly capable of.
Our journey programs create meaningful opportunities for students to step outside the everyday, try new things, and build confidence through hands-on, experiential learning. Along the way, they develop social, emotional, physical, and environmental awareness that extends far beyond the program.
Designed to complement your school’s curriculum, our multi-day journeys are tailored to age, ability, and learning outcomes. Guided by skilled facilitators, students are supported to reflect, think critically, and take ownership of their learning.
Through each experience, students build essential life skills—including resilience, leadership, teamwork, and self-awareness—while developing a deep respect for others and the natural world. Using a cycle of experience, feedback, and reflection, they learn to transfer these skills into everyday life.
We offer three journey styles—Introduction, Journey, and Expedition—each designed to meet students where they are and take them further.
INTRODUCTION TO JOURNEYS
The introduction to journey programs are perfect for students in their junior years just beginning to tap into their capabilities. These programs incorporate both base-camp and journey components to enable student’s to extend their resilience and independence with full support throughout their outdoor experience.
JOURNEYS
Journey programs are typically up to 5-days in length and operate in many National Parks throughout Australia. Journeys focus on experiential learning through challenge by choice adventure activities, camping, and community living in a semi-wilderness context. These programs are well suited for Year 9 and 10 students ready to explore themselves, apply self-discipline, planning and problem-solving techniques, and cooperate with their peers throughout the experience.
EXPEDITIONS
Expeditions can range from 10 to 30-days in length and form the peak experience of a robust outdoor education sequence. Challenges and consequences are naturally part of the expedition. Students learn to listen, communicate, negotiate, problem-solve, plan and work together to achieve goals, and contribute to their community group using proactive strategies. Expeditions are tailored to suit specific outcomes enriching learning and development in your students and are always uniquely created in partnership with your school.
