Land's Edge - Programming & Locations

Land’s Edge aims to empower young people by developing and strengthening their self-confidence and personal competence through meaningful and innovative programming that is at once stimulating, challenging and enjoyable.  Land’s Edge favours an inquiry-based (constructionist) and lifelong learning approach with a focus on students’ thinking skills, reasoning, problem-solving and evaluation. Most importantly, Land’s Edge works with young people towards development of a set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that prepares them for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.  Land’s Edge programming provides young people with time to enjoy the natural (and where appropriate, urban) environment, be challenged by it mentally, physically and spiritually, and to reflect upon their experience in it.

Land’s Edge Programming Aims for all programs are as follows:

• Uphold industry best practice in terms of risk management and safety
• Foster positive personal and social development
• Teach appropriate outdoor living skills in relation to age and experience
• Develop environmental awareness through adoption of Land’s Edge philosophy and values and Leave No Trace Australia’s ‘Seven Principles’
• Provide enjoyable outdoor exploration
• Provide an environment where a client’s stated educational outcomes, philosophy and policies are affirmed

Land’s Edge implements its programs in Australian locations that the company believes are truly inspirational – unique places that have an immediate and positive impact on young people and adults alike. This impact remains with participants long after they have packed up camp and returned to their daily lives. All locations in which Land’s Edge operates are ones for which its staff have an abiding passion, deep respect and thorough understanding.
