Benefits to Young People

At Lea Green we believe every child and young person should experience the outdoors as an integral part of their learning and development, complementing learning in the classroom. Our vision is to help schools and organisations create successful outdoor education courses that enables individuals to grow and develop for the future.

High quality outdoor education can stimulate and inspire, aid personal and social development, and can often motivate reluctant learners. We offer a range of activities and environments to open the eyes of children and young adults, to show them how they can learn outside the classroom and re-energise their appetite to learn.
