The camp is designed to take participants out of their comfort zones and confront them with mental, physical and spiritual challenges that cannot be ignored. Participants learn the importance of taking responsibility for actions, adopting a belief system and developing a plan for their lives.
Academic work is completed on an individual basis supervised by a teacher.
The wilderness provides the perfect environment for facing the substance of life. It is a simple environment and yet a powerful reality filled with the frailties and courage of humanity. When this opportunity is embraced, the result is greater confidence to face problems, to develop purpose, to trust and be trusted, to persevere amid difficulty, to be flexible and cooperative with others. A frontier is a line between the known and unknown. At New Frontiers a staff of outdoor specialists will lead activities which increase confidence, esteem, problem solving and communication skills.
