Overview
Step outside the classroom and into adventure! This hands-on outdoor pursuits course brings you to rivers, seascapes, mountains, and forests—immersing you in history, geography, and science as you explore the natural world.

Learning Outcomes
Discover the flora and fauna of each location and learn how these environments shape the way children understand and connect with the world today. Explore renewable energy in action, right in the landscapes around you.

The natural world is fragile, and understanding what’s on our doorstep has never been more important. This course is fully outdoors—so walking boots and wet gear are recommended, and be ready for anything Donegal weather might bring!

Reconnect with nature, inspire your teaching, and experience the wild like never before!
