Outlook Expeditions Ltd


Tailor-made for Schools

Description

At Outlook we see ourselves as a little bit different. Guided by quality and conscience we want the schools and youth groups we work with to choose an adventure to suit them. Travelling to over 80 destinations worldwide. Expedition teams explore new and challenging environments from mountains to seas, jungles to deserts as well as involving themselves with different cultures and communities and contributing to sustainable project work. Outlook Expeditions focus on developing young people, teaching them key skills such as leadership, communication and risk awareness facilitated by talented staff and expedition leaders, with safety as a priority.

Our commitment to tailor-making means that the school can choose the destination, duration and key objectives and our experienced staff will work with them to create an exciting, jam-packed itinerary. We can even incorporate personal aims like visits or project work at current 'link schools'. No matter the duration, we remain committed to providing a tailor-made experience and work hard to ensure shorter opportunities don’t become ‘adventure holidays’ but deliver a true expedition experience.

We don't cut corners when it comes to the expedition build-up either. We believe the build up is essential to the safety of the team and both Link Teachers and the student team will have all the support and training they need to ensure they feel prepared and safe.

We also make sure the team develops a great relationship with their Expedition Leader as they run both an evening at the school AND join the team on the Expedition Training weekend - its so important they get to know each individual and build trust before the team leave the UK!

A fantastic opportunity for pupils to explore other cultures and to appreciate how other people live their lives in circumstances very different from home. Students learnt to take responsibility and to budget and plan their trip. It was a life changing trip for all involved. (January 2018 - Secondary School)
