Development Courses
Dynamic outdoor courses that teach the biggest lessons in life...
Life's greatest teacher
Many people in our society today have lost touch with the outdoors; we talk about saving the environment in one breath and, in the next, are back to our disposable lives. Television, computers, videos, phones and the multitude of other electronic appliances have given us selective hearing, vision and feelings. Our senses have lost their intended use. Too much is done for us by technology - and that causes skill decay.
But when we spend time in an outdoor environment, we become aware of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions. Lessons are constant and the teachers come in the form of weather, rock, water, terrain etc. There can be challenges everywhere, at every level.
Mind over matter
Perceived danger and actual danger are often difficult for people to accept and differentiate between in the outdoors. But when people are exposed to the outdoors through experiential learning and progression, their comfort zones can be stretched and expanded. Soon they learn new-found confidence through self-belief, trust, positive affirmation and a feeling of self-achievement that no-one can take away from them. This confidence allows people to develop themselves and others and, therefore, is a highly effective way of improving leadership skills and teamwork.
Active learning
PDC Inspiration specialise in providing a variety of outdoor courses that can be tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation, focusing on teamwork, leadership skills and/or personal development. Most courses are run on Dartmoor and activities include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, rafting, sailing, hill-walking and navigation, kiting, camping, bivvying and staying in remote farmhouses. Courses can be anything between 1 and 8 days long.
All of our trainers are highly-skilled and qualified outdoors experts. Safety is paramount (physically, emotionally and mentally) and the focus is on providing a positive experience for everyone involved.
