Adventure Education
Adventure Education : Education based on activities that create challenge and excitement by deliberately exposing participants to elements of risk. The purpose of adventure education is to enhance self-concept and improve social interaction. The risks could be physical (injury), social/emotional or material (gear/ equipment). In an educational setting, activities are usually promoted that have a substantial degree of learner-perceived risk, but a low degree of leader-perceived risk. Both natural environments such as mountains or rivers and constructed ones such as challenge ropes courses or climbing walls, can be used to achieve this
