A.  Active Sports is a self sufficient outdoor activity provider / designer, so by using us direct you miss out the middle men, saving you time, confusion, and expense.

"Rationale, for using adventure games as a development tool"

Adventure provides the emotional setting within which it becomes possible for course participants to know and feel that they have been involved in something that mattered to them personally.

bulletOur courses are designed to integrate the physical, emotional, social, intellectual and aesthetic aspects of the participant's personality.
bulletWe have games designed to foster group co-operation, elicit recognition, and valuing of the differing talents among the members of the group.
bulletOur courses provide an opportunity for individuals to widen their horizons, gain in confidence and develop their inter-personal skills.

If you want to learn more about what we can offer you, we would be pleased to discuss further details at your place of work, or at our centre, Whitmuir Hall.
