The need for Outdoor Education
The problem is scary, the statistics tell the story. The World Health Organisation (WHO) project that by 2015 approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. This is what faces the students of now in 6 years time when they become adults. In 2005 at least 20 million children under the age of 5 where overweight globally.
ALI has seen these worrying statistics and believes the need for change starts when we see students on our camps. Encouraging students to swim, canoe, hike, mountain bike etc on our program can rejuvenate their interest in the great outdoors or at least help them to blow the dust of their bike when they return home. ALI runs fun, safe and professional outdoor programs that will hopefully be a stepping stone to reducing these alarming statistics.
