Wandering Bear Trips and Courses
The Wandering Bear’s Personal Development Course for young adults is executed through a series of modules, preparing individuals for either a Gap Year or attending University. The modules are: self defence, first aide, gap year preparation and outdoor survival skills. In this day and age we prepare for every aspect of our lives - so why not your gap year?
The aim is to prepare individuals for the next stage of their lives by emphasising how they can take responsibility for themselves. By attending one, or all of the modules offered, the Wandering Bear hopes to enhance an individuals confidence, situational awareness and personal capabilities. The modular course has been designed to allowed individuals to pick and choose the area where they wish to improve and obtain further knowldege. We will equip them with a skill set and knowledge that will make them feel Safe, Confident, Street Wise and Capable.
