Enjoyment: Children enjoy being outdoors and often face new challenges with positive attitudes, helping each other and working as a team.
Self Confidence: Children develop in confidence as they try new activities and progress towards successfully participating in new activities or seeing the visual results of a craft.
Social Skills: Children and young people appreciate the need to work together in challenges and the role in the group.
Appreciation for the Natural World: As children experience first-hand how the ancient Britons lived in harmony with the natural world, their appreciation, respect and belonging to their natural environment grows.

Other skills include understanding how to dress appropriately for the outdoors and to feel comfortable being outside in a range of weathers.
Personal Development: Children learn self-reliance, how to take responsibility for their role in a group and work to succeed at new challenges whilst keeping a good humour in moments of discomfort.
Life Skills: Children and young people develop their skills to work cooperatively, communicate with each other and help their group achieve its goal.
Healthy Lifestyle: Children learn the benefits of outdoor activities and healthy leisure pursuits such as walking in the woods to Longbow Archery.
Motivation for Learning: Children are stimulated and remember an emotive hands-on experience, they learn to always try to achieve their best even in other areas of school and home life.
