ALIVE Outdoors is an experiential and outdoor education company specializing in the creation and delivery of customized, meaningful programs for schools and organizations.Albert Camus once said, "Life is a sum of all of our choices." Learning through experience allows people to become more aware of who they are, and have the chance to align their behaviour and choices with their values.ALIVE’s educational philosophy is grounded in the theory of experiential education and is implemented in the programs we run through our four-stage experiential learning model. Our global and technologically driven society pushes us all to do more while leaving many lacking balance in their lives. In response, ALIVE programs focus on personal strengths and character development to empower learners to better navigate school, work and life for personal and professional happiness and well-being.For more information please visit www.aliveoutdoors.com or contact me directly at sam@aliveoutdoors.com
