'Adventure Programming' is a practical, interactive and intensive three-
day program which will model and immerse you in critical programming and
group facilitation skills. Emphasis will be on developing an extensive
repertoire of group activities and exploration of key program design,
leadership and processing 'soft' skills. 

This innovative program will be lead by Mark Collard, one of Australia's
leading adventure educators, international Project Adventure facilitator
and author of the popular 'No Props' and 'Count Me In' activity books.

The program is designed specifically for experienced practitioners who work with groups - teachers, corporate trainers, outdoor educators and recreation staff - and want their students, staff and colleagues to interact, build team skills and have fun.
