ADVENTURE ED. TERMS CULTURE

• The culture is a set of common and shared values, beliefs, intentions, and behaviors among its members.

NORM• Norms are what is

generally accepted by the group. They are ever changing and can be altered by any individual in the group with the permission of or lack of opposition by a majority of the group.

Page 5: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

PERSONAL AWARENESS

• Personal awareness is the understanding of ones’ role as “part of the whole” and how we are connected to all that surrounds us.

Page 6: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

GROUP AWARENESSGroup Awareness is the understanding of ones importance to the group and how their actions (positive or negative) will impact the group as a whole. It is also understanding that everyone is important. (we’re not done until we all finish)

OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS IN THIS CLASS

FEAR LACK OF DISCIPLINE LACK OF SELF WORTH

AND RESPECT FAILURE TO VALUE

OTHERS

Page 8: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

DON’T BE AFRAID!We all fear something and we mask it in a number of ways. Don’t let that fear be an obstacle in this class.

You are your biggest roadblock.

Ever heard some of these: This is soooo lame Boooooring!! This is stupid What a waste of time They are losers I don’t care Etc. etc.etc……..

People diminish and pull away from experiences that make them uncomfortable or afraid.

What we don’t understand we fear. What we fear we destroy.

Page 9: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

Discipline – finding value in everything we choose to do.

You will spend 50 minutes of your life (which you will never ever get back) in this class each school day. What will you get for that investment.

WHAT WILL THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT BE

Page 10: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

Self worth and self respect determine how you present yourself and how you treat others.

When you like yourself you are more tolerant of others.

When you don’t like yourself you are less likely to like or accept others.

Page 11: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

FAILURE TO VALUE OTHERS

• Don’t fall into the “VELVET ROPE” syndrome

Should we exclude others based on our value meter.

Page 12: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION

ADVENTURE EDUCATION VALUE PRINCIPLES

• Openness to multiple solutions.• Respect and value of self and

others.• Honest and open feedback• Creation of an environment that is

physically and mentally safe.• Work toward individual and group

goals.• Stretch self- imposed boundaries. • View conflict as an opportunity to

learn and grow.• Understand and incorporate the

concept of Failing Forward.• Work from the assumption that

everyone is competent.• Understand the limits to our

potential are self -imposed.• Tolerance and patience for self and

others.

• Abundance mentality- there is always enough.

• Discipline – finding value in everything we choose to do.

• Empowerment- we create our own reality. We are a catalyst or recipient of all that surrounds us.

• Judgment of others is in some way a judgment of ourselves, partly or in whole.

• Collective consciousness.• Everyone has innate leadership

potential.• Everyone is trust worthy. • Cooperation over competition

IN CLOSINGTHIS IS YOUR ONLY LIFE AND YOU SHOULD SPEND IT WISELY. LIVE-LEARN-LOVE-LAUGHThe Secret of Life The secret of life is not a process of discovery but rather a process of CREATION. We create our own circles. One does not discover himself. He re-creates himself a new. What do you want to create for yourself?  Doing vs Being / Proving vs Expressing The evolved individual EXPRESSES his /her gifts and acknowledges the gifts of others.The un-evolved individual tries to PROVE his/her worthiness by defeating or devaluing the worth of others.Leaders “Be” and “Express” “ Do not confuse who you are with the role you play.”LeadershipLeaders add value to each individual, setting and lesson.Leaders bring their true purpose to a conscious level.Leaders are disciplined. Discipline= finding value in everything you do.Leaders find ways to connect with all members of the circle.Leaders pull not push. When one PULLS he has already been there.
