Adventure Facilitation Foundations 2- Expanding Adventure Group Management
Expanding your adventure programs. Ideal for school & afterschool educators, non-formal educators, youth groups, social services, police, counselors, and camp staff!
Participants in this workshop will use their foundations in adventure facilitation to explore creating specific social-emotional outcomes through activity; expanded emotional, environmental, and initiative safety; expand into understanding and exploring group dynamics; and group conflict management.
Participants will build their adventurous toolkit as we explore these expanding concepts:
- Identifying & creating specific social-emotional development outcomes through adventure
- Crafting framing statements and reflection questions aligned with outcomes
- Balancing desired facilitation outcomes with the group’s right to explore and create their own experiences
- Safely expanding the experiential toolkit to include more dynamic activities
- Safety parameters for portable elements requiring spotting and spotting instruction
- Creating program frameworks for consistently safe practices
- Small group development
- Group conflict: how to embrace it, how to avoid harmful conflict, and how to help the group navigate it.
This 8-hour workshop is the follow-up to our Adventure Facilitation Foundations 1. Participants will be most successful if they have an understanding of core concepts such as de-inhibitizing groups, Stretch Zone Learning, full value commitments and Challenge of Choice, and activity framing and sequencing basics obtained through courses like our Adventure Facilitation Foundations 1 workshop.
Attendees will experience the activities as participants first and then build them into their own practice as facilitators for their community.
