SILC Adventure Camps 2023
Unique Journey-Based Camps
Our Adventure Camps offer participants the experience of a lifetime, as they embark on a 2-week journey with a small group of young people across mountains or sea. Accompanied by qualified experts, our students develop important leadership and life skills while enjoying a wide range of outdoor activities, excursions, games and educational workshops over the course of the trip.
Leadership Development
We offer a purpose-designed leadership programme delivered by experienced trainers, subject experts, water sports instructors, and mountain guides. The programme is based around measurable learning outcomes which are fully integrated and applied in all outdoor activities. All students follow through reflection moments along with completing their Personal Action Plans.
Learning while doing
The camps integrate a learning while doing mantra. Students are exposed to an array of leadership topics. Throughout the camp, they develop skills such goal setting, time management, leadership, global citizenship, communication, teamwork, and more, all while having the time of their lives together with other young people from around the world!
