INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS

At the Boyle we take pride in being a leading provider in outdoor education for schools. We have well appointed facilities, a diverse range of activities available and employ quality, professional staff who ensure that your school's outcomes are met, and that your students have a positive and educational experience. After discussing with you your school's outcomes and objectives, we create a tailor-made programme so that your students get the most out of their stay with us.

The Boyle staff use the outdoor activities as a tool to facilitate learning through hands-on experiences, briefing and de-briefing. Adventure Based Learning is a core process that encourages goal setting, reflection, peronal and group development. Generally the instructors work with the same group throughout the programme, which gives continuity and allows the group to develop its team skills and reflect on how they work with others. Also incorporated into the programme are opppotunities to learn about the geography, flora and fauna of the area.
